Re: Poverty and "luxury items" - a discussion

[(Anonymous)]

Lovely how you bring something irrelevant to the table, just to make people feel bad about questioning your situation.

They should feel bad about making assumptions about me and my life. And while I did not grow up poor, a lot of financial resources went to caring for/cleaning up after various family members. That didn't leave a lot left over for extras.

People will keep doing what they're doing and the results will be exactly the same as before. Which is poverty.

I didn't make any assumptions about anyone's life. And I've mentioned that I'm willing to pay taxes to feed the hungry. I'm not willing to subsidize food so people can buy stuff they don't need.

I put up quotes from my religion that backed up my stance. You did the same for your side.

The idea that people should only buy things they can afford really bothers you doesn't it?

Re: Poverty and "luxury items" - a discussion

[iceyred]

Yes. Yes, entitlement does lead to poverty. 'I want the thing and I'm going to buy it even though I can't afford it and then others will provide for my needs.' Leads to poverty. I have seen this in my own family, in friends, classmates, customers, constituents, on tv specials, in the news, etc. I see it every time I turn around.

I haven't been talking about charity. I've been talking about public money and welfare. How/if/when/do I support charities is my own business. I choose what charities get my money/time and I do that based on how they spend it.

I have no choice about paying taxes, but I do have a right to be annoyed that my tax dollars don't go to helping people survive, but instead towards things they don't need.

You're crying that I'm selfish because I don't want to support irresponsible behavior. You're bawling that I'm not Catholic because I have boundaries about what I will and will not support. What you really mean is that I'm a bad person because you're not getting your own way.

Matthew 6:25-34 is a great quote. You should take it to heart and stop demanding people give you their money.
