Right. Let’s all just give everything we have to the government and let them distribute it as they deem fit. The government is obviously the most qualified institution to make decisions about the quality of my life. I’m sure they’ll make much better decisions about my financial well-being than I ever would.
That way, we will all have next to nothing. As if sacrificing the quality of life for my children, who I am responsible for, and just give it all away to the government (who will make much better quality of life decisions for my children than I ever could hope to) and all will be well.
Instead of a few children starving, they can all starve! Why won’t you just let the government into your heart? All they do is care about you!
Now, how about an alternative. Instead of giving 30% of our income to the government to decide how to spend it, why don’t we all just keep it, and choose how much we can afford to give out to the church and trust them to use it to help people?
I’m sure voluntarily giving 15% of my income to a charity like the church, (or any charity of your choice that you believe in) who actually does have compassion for people and successful programs that help people and 15% more in my pocket so I can afford gas, my mortgage and groceries and day care and summer camp and activities for my children would make the government very very sad, but I’m also 100% sure it would make everyone else much much happier.
Caring for people doesn’t mean just giving up your income to the government to solve everyone’s problems. They’re incompetent. They aren’t capable of doing what you’re funding them to do.
The reason they aren’t capable is because republicans have gutted the ways they work. It’s working as planned to fail to get people like you to repeat this rhetoric so they can slash all these benefits. Look at how well other countries handle public infrastructure and funding and now tell me why the USA can’t do that? We could if we wanted to. America is great, we just need to actually get it working for us and not vice versa.

Churches are really bursting with compassion while their pastors spend their time fucking children.

Statistically you probably aren’t making good financial decisions and the government is better at spending your money to improve your life.
Of all the stupid responses to my comment, this one is the stupidest
