Charity At The Point Of A Gun or Robin Hood Was A Socialist

Point of the matter is this; If you reach into your pocket, and donate to your fellow man, that is Charity. If the government takes your money and gives it to another person, that is wealth redistribution. Wealth redistribution is not charity, you do not have a say so in who gets your money, or for what purpose it is used for. It is highway robbery literally, Robin Hood, was a highwayman; dispite what he did with his ill gotten gains, he was a thief, a robber, and a highwayman. What he did with his money made him a socialist, a liberal and a democrat. Redistributing wealth as he saw fit. I am not saying that the rich in Robin Hood's day were fine upstanding members of society. I am not saying that of the rich today. The point is, if socialism doesn't work once people know, that when they are idle, someone will give them something. We have people today, who have made a career out of gathering hand-outs. The main reason why democrats give money to the poor is to buy their vote. They don't care, if those people could become productive members of society. As I said in an earlier post, "If the poor couldn't vote, the politicans wouldn't give them anything". In accordance with the Preamble of the Constitution "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." In particular, promote the general Welfare These words do not require the government to create the general welfare, but to promote it. This in it's self means to give everyone an equal opportunity, to develope the best lifestyle they are capable of creating, for themselves! Not, to give it to those who are not interested in doing it for themselves. It is up to we the people to care for one another. Charity comes out your own pocket, and goes to whom you want it to go. Taxes are to run the government. We need to tell Washington D.C. to stay out of our pockets. If Congress gave away their own money, instead of ours, you can bet, Welfare would be more under control.
