When I say the rich are getting richer I'm talking about tax shelters, etc. that are made for corporate America to hide their dough. We wouldn't have to have welfare if everyone believed as you do, that we all need to help pitch in for those who can't or are unable to work. However, it has been proven that most of the rich don't like to "share" or take care of others, therefore we MUST have programs to support the poor.

Now, I'm interested in your notion of taxation. You say it is wrong because we are stealing from the rich. You also say that welfare is wrong because it is forced plunder, through taxation, and given away to the poor. How does this coincide with your whole notion of PRO LIFE? Welfare, head start, school lunch programs, early intervention, food stamps, housing subsidies, etc. ALL go to support children who YOU argue should not be aborted! I'm driven to distraction by the hypocricy I find in the prolife movement for those who will jump up and down and say "don't kill that baby!" but at the same time clench their purse strings when it comes to paying taxes that go toward domestic programs that support families. I'm not saying you are one of these people. But the Bible speaks directly toward those who are rich trying to get into the kingdom of heaven, and also to give to Ceaser what is owed.
