They can't even get the meaning of church and state right. It's the church's responsibility, not the government, to take care of the needy and downtrodden. True Christians want to help "set the captives free" through Christ, and his liberating Holy Spirit, while the government wants to "keep the captives enslaved" in the welfare state. Both the church and the state have failed miserably in living up to Christ's ideals. But that is all going to change, as the Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our God. And for one thousand years we will see what life was meant to be like under a Godly and just government. And then at the end of the thousand years, those who miss the days when satan ran the world, will have one last chance to follow the devil into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20 spells it out.
Some would argue that if the church had done its job, no one would have felt the need to get the government involved.
I agree that it's the church's job, and I would contend it's because of church members such as the one who wrote the article above ("Yeah, Jesus said we should help the poor and downtrodden, but he didn't mean *all* of them, and we don't have to do it *all* the time" is what it appears he's saying) that the church wasn't doing its job to begin with.
