Exactly. Our own poor people here in America are the richest poor people in the entire world!

Food stamps, rent subsidies, aid for dependent children, free cellphones, free tuition, free medical care and free birth control, free childcare; etc.

Some economists have tallied this all up to come to $40,000 a year income, tax-free, for a welfare family with minor children.

Whether true or not, I've heard that said before. The point of the article, as I read it, is that those who have should give willingly to the poor! Yet we DO complain about the handouts---think it is unjust to force hard working people to support the others.

Guess we think too many of the "others" are content to be takers and teach their kids the same thing. Is stealing a sin?
