Evil acts are given an aura of moral legitimacy by noble-sounding socialistic expressions, such as spreading the wealth, income redistribution, caring for the less fortunate, and the will of the majority. Let’s have a thought experiment to consider just how much Americans sanction evil.
Imagine there are several elderly widows in your neighborhood. They have neither the strength to mow their lawns, clean their windows and perform other household tasks nor the financial means to hire someone to help them. Here’s a question that I’m almost afraid to ask: Would you support a government mandate that forces you or one of your neighbors to mow these elderly widows’ lawns, clean their windows and perform other household tasks? Moreover, if the person so ordered failed to obey the government mandate, would you approve of some sort of sanction, such as fines, property confiscation or imprisonment? I’m hoping, and I believe, that most of my fellow Americans would condemn such a mandate. They’d agree that it would be a form of slavery — namely, the forcible use of one person to serve the purposes of another.

People on the dole should be forced to do public service to continue to receive the help. Just look at how fat most of theses freeloaders get! If they refuse to do the hours of service, then they get no more anything, and throw them in jail.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there would be volunteers in the spirit of who we are as Americans. After that , no, no govt intervention at all. No laws.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have to click the more button to answer this. We Americans, Christians as a nation, serve our fellow man every day with charity over and above what exists in any other country in the world, and always have.
ReplyDeleteThere is no need for a mandate, the job has been done.
