Shadmans thoughts

Is it moral to ask where my tax goes in other lands. Here is what the government ought to spend my tax on. Defend me from evil people. If a land is going to build a gun to kill people or if a gun is used in a crime lock the offender up and give us the bill. No on making the person get help or whatever. Get the person out of the free places and keep him off the streets for 20 years. If one kills or rapes get that monster off the street for good. Kill him and use my cash to do it swiftly. If a land or another threatens the safety of people we take out the government and all its leaders in war. If a leader is killing the people we clean it up. Keeping me safe means you keep food and roads safe. It means you fix roads. Then take my money and educate kids and make them pass the grades. Teach the truth like creation is the truth. Teach them the basics and not morals and if the school does teach gays are ok shut that school down and fire the teachers. Teach the bible or let a kid learn the bible in school time. Block out 4 hours a week for churches to teach kids about Jesus. Failing this is to fail the whole point of schools. Teach the Christian faith and not the others. We are a Christian land and God is real. Require a working knowledge of the Lord of the earth Jesus and not false Gods. It is the standard we need to go back to. NO EVOLUTION OR GAY IS OK. Then with tax I pay you may give to the truly needy. No free welfare or free cash to the fooling. Drug users, drunks, people with kid that make more kids to get cash, people not working that are able including all people with MI and CD. Make social programs private and if the program works fund it with gifts first. No food for free let the Salvation Army do this and only in a hard case you give food not a free pass. I say you work if your able and the government makes your check fatter if you work. Unemployment is a good thing to so help them get a new job and be a safety net not a place to rest.

I pay 20 percent to the government and I am expecting this government to only take 10 percent and get your hands off my cash. No sales or gas tax because they waste my money. We need a flat tax of 15 percent for the feds and 5 percent to state. Other than that get the government out of my life and my pocket book. I need to address a comment here. It is not the governments Job to take the poor and just give them a free handout. We the people ought to give to the needs of the poor. I hit this another time so I am not going to hit this again

Lets go to the bible and glean something on the poor.

Acts 6 is a good place to look tonight.

Acts 6 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
Have we lost the first part of this. It seems it was half of the churches job to care for the poor and half to take care of the widows and get out the daily food and help. It is a job we gave away to people that are not our own. God does set the preacher in the church t6o feed us the word but we also seem to want another person to take care of the matters of the needy in the local church. At the church I go to we take up a deacons fund on the first of the month and we use it to help the poor. We also have pooled with the local food shelf run by the calolics in this area and the Salvation Army. We at one time had a food shelf and now we do not. I think we in our church ought to commit funds each to the poor and needy. In the church we all ought to take care of the needs of the poor in the body first and the widows. If we neglect them our faith is nothing and we are as sinners without hope.

2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”[1]

No I am not thinking we take a pastor from the word. Sermons are the big thing in a pastors job and running the office of the church is his duty to, It is not just preaching it is prayer and meeting the needs of his flock in the bible. Art is my pastor and his job is to feed to us the word and oversee the people. Also he is to protect us from the evil one and to make us healthy in the bible.
