Comparing Jesus to a socialist? Not right.
The government should not be in the charity business, private citizens should. that was what Jesus was preaching, that people should take care of one another. Government had nothing to do with it.
I absolutely hate having my hard earned money taken from me against my will so it can go to the undeserving or be wasted on some other stupid program.
But....... my wife and I voluntarily rack up about $8,000 a year in donations to our church. Much of that money goes to feed the hungry, clothe those who need clothes, help some members of our community pay bills when they fall behind, we even built a school and house for a pastor in mexico. That's what Jesus was talking about.
You see there is a difference. It should be my decision, not someone else's.
Charity begins at home and not at the polling booth.

Very well put sir.
Charity is a virtue, socialism is a disease.
