join a church, the ones around me have boxes they put bagged lunches in.
I value charity and volunteering one’s money and time to help others if that calls to you. I am not into the government redistributing my money to people who often didn’t bother to develop the skills to subsist in the first place. So let’s do this. Give me the biggest rainbow in the world that when Uncle Sam isn’t carrying everyone we may try to help one another—the ones who deserve it.
I think this is a big problem with modern society. People are fine taking handouts from the government. But they aren't as fine with taking handouts from charity. Because they see taking the money from the government differently.
The way I see it, it should be the complete opposite. People should realize, at the end of the day they are taking money from other people in our society. With the government, it's money taken by force, through taxes, tariffs, and other means. And with charity it's from people that have extra to give, and do it out of the kindness of their hearts. I hope people at least some amount will stop looking at the government as the answer to their problems. It's not just endless money coming from nowhere. It's money even coming out of even THEIR pockets when they pay various taxes, through the chain of the item they are buying getting to them.
I also feel like with food banks, people need to actively look for places that are giving out free food. They need to be a little more proactive. Which if you are going to starve otherwise, shouldn't even be an issue.
I know for sure when communists and lefties cope about how black people actually need to steal from stores, and that's why it's actually a good thing they are doing it. They conveniently leave out that food banks, and charities exist all throughout the country. I've talked to people and they literally think if black people didn't steal from stores they would starve or something. No, they just need to put in the minimum effort to find places that give out free food to make sure people aren't going to starve. But idk, I think most of the people that think like this have sheltered, lives the whole bigotry of low expectations thing.
