I AGREE MR. MCCAIN HAS CHANGED SO MUCH! I USED TO ADMIRE HIM TOO. I WONDER WHAT MEDICINES HE HAS TAKEN. LIFE IS VERY STRANGE. STILL VOTING FOR HIM OUT OF PITY IS BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY AND ECONOMY.

ACTUALLY, LETTING GO OF MCCAIN WOULD GIVE HIM A MUCH NEEDED VACATION AND REST. THE SENATE NEEDS PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH SENATOR OBAMA. RATHER ELECTING MCCAIN IS TOO ENERGY CONSUMING AND ACCELERATING HIS DEATH.
HE MAY LOOK FORCEFUL ON TV, BUT AT WHAT PRICE? SO HE COLLAPSES AFTER NOVEMBER FOURTH?
EVANGELISTS: IT IS MATTER OF COMPASSION AND EMPHATY TO YOUR CANDIDATE, NOT DERAILING THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. PUT AWAY YOUR NEGATIVE FEELINGS, FOCUS ON FIXING THE US ECONOMY. DO NOT VOTE ON NOV.4TH.
RELIGION IS ABOUT HELPING THE NEEDY, NOT INTERFERING WITH OUR CONSTITUTION SEPARATION OF STATE POWERS. MUCH LESS POLITICAL ACTIVISM. FALWELL, FARRAKHAN, JACKSON WERE VERY WRONG.
RELIGIOUS DOGMA IS ANATHEMA TO ORDERLY REPUBLICAN DEMOCRACY.
YOUR JESUS SAID IT: GIVE TO CESAR WHAT BELONGS TO CESAR (TAXES) AND TO GOD WHAT BELONGS TO GOD. THAT MEANT: STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS.-

Since 1964 the United States Governments (Federal and State) have transferred over five trillion dollars from the middle class and the rich to the poor. Are the poor better off today or have they become more enslaved and dependent on government?

How much is five trillion dollars? A billion dollars is one thousand million dollars. A trillion dollars is one thousand billion dollars, thus five trillion dollars is five thousand billion dollars. That amount is inconceivable to the human mind. That is how much government has taken from the middle and rich class and transferred it to the poor. This money did not cost the poor anything. They did not have to earn it. It was given them.
This scenario described is why so many are up in arms about the subject of welfare. There are still over three million Americans on the welfare rolls. Some are being helped by it and learning to stand on their own feet someday. This is the goal. Others have become enslaved by it and are dependent on it. Some are second, third and even fourth generation dependents on welfare. There are special cases where some are worthy of help and compassion such as the disabled veteran, other disabled, orphans, handicapped, retarded and other extraordinary cases. These can be helped when there is no one else to help them.
The average middle class worker today works till the middle of May each year for the government. Everything they earn from January till about the middle of May is taxed and taken by the government in some form. These hard working people are feeling slighted that some of their money is given to some poor people who have not earned it and do not deserve it. Needless to say, welfare is a very volatile subject and our goal again is to find out what the Bible says.
I think we pay enough taxes, Obama doesn't. We all pay enough.
