While it’s true that Texas was once Democrat, back then Texas Democrats were more conservative than Northeast Republicans.
These are not the same Texas Democrats.
I believe in the bible. I’m a fiscal conservative. That said, I’ve seen what poverty does to people who never ask a thing out of life except a decent job to pay for the needs of their families. My thoughts on the subject are simply my thoughts on the subject having watched people give up. They’re not based on religion or the bible. You have to survive in some form of humanity. Even Mother Theresa voiced anquish over the suffering of the poor and desperate. She admitted having doubts on many occasions. I am no Mother Theresa. I want good people to be happy again like we once were. Jobs and meals together and shoes to wear to school and work are good reasons to praise God.
“A moral people don’t spend what they don’t have.”. My God, what does that have to do with parents trying to rear children or take care of their elderly with no job? Are you talking about spending as in credit cards or frivolous waste? I don’t know anyone who lost their jobs who still has the means to spend. Whatever you think of my thoughts, I spend every day of my life trying to help people get by . None of these people lacks morals but I’m sure a few have thought about doing something untoward to provide for their families. I guess we just disagree on what prosperity means to a nation and to what degree a person can be prosperous.
psalm 73 is a powerful psalm for those who struggle and who seem to always face troubles whiel the wicked prosper
