too rich?

[YahwehIsTheWay]

In the victorian era there was the tradition of the rich people to give money to help the poor.
The result. The poor still starved and froze. Only when a real solution like unemployment benefit came in did the poor people have a relatively decent existence.

There was also a tradition in America about churches helping the poor, in the traditions set by Jesus. Prior to the second World War, it was good Christians following the instructions of Jesus who took care of the needy. It all worked fine until that Big Government came along with that hippy liberal organization called the US Army and said, "hey, all our recruits are suffering from rickets and other signs of malnutrition, blah blah blah whine whine whine." And then Big Government comes along with a socialist program of school lunches and opens the door for all manner of Big Government intrusion.

That's why good conservative Christians like me (True ™ and otherwise) all push for the Big Government to abolish its spendy interference and let churches handle the needs of the poor. After all, it worked so well back then.

I bet the homeless would enjoy a few spoonfuls.

Disregard what I said earlier. I've figured it out!

Jesus also said (Mark 14:6) "Fuck the poor! I'm going to live it up while I'm here!" I'm paraphrasing but that's the jist.

So, Jesus talked a good game of how OTHER people should give all their money away to the poor but then when indulging in the worldly pleasures thought it best to forget about how all that should apply to him.

"Austerity for thee, not for me!"

As True Christians ™ we're just following his example. Preach the right! Do the wrong! Fuck it, Jesus will forgive us anyway!

Money doesn't remove violence from a country- the main reason why countries are in poverty is due to violence, wars, and all sorts.

Amen brother! That's why America doesn't have poverty!

Throwing money in their general direction has historically shown to be unsuccessful.

Absolutely! Those arrogant liberals with all their facts and logic will say otherwise but reality has a known liberal bias.
