Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

The principle of everyone helping each other is good and biblical. In the earliest christian societies people gave what they had to be divided among the members as needed. Those who had little would support the group by their work and whatever contributions they had to give. Paul basically had to tell certain persons who were being idle to get up and earn the food they ate. This is the situation government programs always seem to create in that they take heavily from those who are responsible and give to those who are not, although I'm not saying that there are some who are legitimately in need at the time. There is no requirement to contribute to the system in order to benefit from it. As with Obamacare, some people are working less because they can do better by paying less for medical insurance or get it for free. Others who are working hard have lost the insurance they liked and are forced to pay more for inferior coverage. Then, as with medicare and social security, the system goes broke or continues to take more and more from people with personal responsibility, so society as a whole suffers.
