The Abolition of Welfare
We define Welfare as any social program that spends money in providing for the people what the mass of the population work hard for. This includes but is not limited to:
- Food Stamps,
- Medicare
- Medicade
- Government Funded Housing Projects
- Unemployment
- and more…
I do not propose a system that drops everything and abruptly leaves a population stranded. I propose a new system that will address many issues that have arisen with Welfare.
I believe that Welfare has been and shall continue to be the job of the Church. In our country we can not claim separation of Church and State if the State has taken a role of the Church. Churches of all denominations and religions in the United States should not be Tax Exempt unless they have earned the privileged by fulfilling their duty to care for the poor and needy.
Churches are too often glamorized country clubs where their members and leaders benefit from tax exemption and financially by throwing golf outings, and sleep over pizza parties. Too many serve no purpose besides social gathering places for the middle class. If this lifestyle is sought it is not looked down upon, it just needs to not work falsely under the guise of a Church, but it needs to be treated as such. It is unfair to tax Country Clubs and not to tax these churches.
By bringing the community together to tackle the problem of the needy, the problems that exist that keep citizens from working and caring for themselves can be addressed by an active community working together to resolve such needs.
Many claim that a majority of crime is rising from lower income houses. If this is the case then by introducing moral establishments and moral responsibility into the lives of Americans will serve to end such problems.
