Subsidizing Pride with Taxes: Reasons why Communism and Socialism are Damaging Drains to Societies

I've heard some people defend socialism's healthcare "solutions." Basically it is let the government manage it, with our taxpayer money, which would be increased to 50% at least. "Free" healthcare would burden many with heavy taxes. In some cases we would be subsidizing for people who overeat and smoke. We already have a heavy tobacco tax. If that was managed right, we would have less healthcare issues. Why should we give the government more taxes when they misuse what they already have? Need proof- read a newspaper or check http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer
or google government waste.
There are some people who say many do not receive healthcare because of no insurance. My response is that there are non-profits, churches, and communities who will help pay medical bills. Hospitals have grants from the government to waive some people's medical bills. People ought to seek and find them. Talk to financial aid. Hello!
I believe a part of medical lack of coverage is fear and pride. Some people do not want to ask for help, but I guess if they are "entitled" to it because they live in a country where people pay 50% or more in taxes, they do not mind. When there are resources out there- some of which I help make happen, I do not want to be obligated to pay more to do what is already being done just because some people have laziness, ignorance, and pride blocking their view of how to pay for getting healthy.
We live in a country where some- many- people earn what they get and help each other in communities. The laissez faire- hands off government- (the theory or system of government that upholds the autonomous character of the economic order, believing that government should intervene as little as possible in the direction of economic affairs.- from dictionary.com) is a foundation of this country. Let's get the government to help facilitate the organizations and ministries who want to help people who have health issues instead of creating a mismanaged revenue stream that would be another burden to us. There are revenue streams to help people. Lets get them flowing right.
I'll leave it here and address fear in another blog God willing. Lord have mercy.

Let's be real...

So the another night I went to a friend's party and some people who did not believe in God started dissing Him verbally and asked if God was real why bad things happen like three year olds getting raped. They also showed anger at a God who would make them fallible. There are several responses. #1. We are not robots; people make stupid choices. We are not God and do not always see where justice is given in life to people who commit that horrible crime or any horrible crime. #2. God made us! We have a voice and power to "judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor and the needy." How many people actively use their gifts and talents to actually do this-bring justice for those in need... ie. Volunteer, write letters to people in positions of authority and demand accountabilty, etc. ?
In the Garden of Eden God gave us dominion on earth and access to a relationship with God. With this relationship with God- now through Jesus- we can be led by God, the Holy Spirit, to fight injustice. Even if someone does not admit there is a God, surely they must realize we have the most reasonable brains to do something about injustice! Hello! Shouldn't we quit wasting money, time, and energy on stupid television shows and activities that take away time we could be fighting injustice or providing for our families and the ones we love? Shouldn't we quit self recriminating, nursing regrets and things that hurt our hearts like unforgiveness and step forward and live in the future instead of the past?
Now, I do not want to sound unsympathetic. I spent many years grieving and feeling sorry for myself even though I loved God. I had to get close to God and receive inner healing and His grace to get a good attitude to live my life without sinking into depressive behaviors (escaping into drink or too much television, food, etc.) But you know what, by God and His grace, I got over any blame or anger I had with God, looked at MY CHOICES AND RESPONSIBILITY, and got over it. By the grace of God and God willing I will determinedly and relentlessly go forward, not kick myself for the past, and make this world a better place. Hoorah!
Oh, the idea about me being responsible to stop bad things from happening instead of blaming God and not thinking to do anything to help Him change the awful things that happen came from a Covenant house letter- Covenant House takes in homeless children. When we walk with God and work, we can really make huge changes for the better. I hope and pray the body of Christ gets it more together and thank God for the successes.

Our Country's Safety

In the USA a lot of people drive, and we have the freedom to bear arms if we are law abiding citizens. Some who would want to attack us here in the US realize we have weapons and vehicles and freedom to use to defend ourselves. This scares them. Many people in the world do not know how to drive and much less have access to their own vehicle. (I know this on a personal level from friends from Korea and Russia who say public transportation is the norm. When they get here, they are scared to drive and have a big learning curve. Also, some nations have a lot of people who have no change to spare much less to buy a car.)
I say this to underscore the wisdom of keeping our rights to responsibly bear arms and keeping our own means of transportation. I would like it more eco-friendly, but I'll take the freedom and power of having my personal vehicle and appreciate it and be thankful. God willing it will stay that way.

The Trinity is not so hard to understand!

The Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is not so hard to understand. I can be a sister, mother, and daughter, and I have a spirit. God can be a Father, Son, and have a Spirit as well. Get it?
