What is the common denominator of every city, town, and state in dire straits of economic poverty, homeless populations, slums, high crime, and food stamp recipients? Where unemployment, a lack of affordable housing, the poorest educated students even though the schools have high dollar costs per student, and every other negative social disaster that reduces the fabric of good living. Think about it: What is it? Ask yourself what is common in these cities and towns, who has had the political power of that city or state control for years, who has been making the rules, laws, and regulations. Who is it that is against the values of a free, Christian America? Who preaches hate and is constantly trying to pit brown against white, yellow against red. Isn’t it time to change who you vote for, time to drain the swamp, time to do something different? Look who has done more for minorities without jobs than any other politician. Isn’t it time to vote for someone else, someone from the other party?

Okay boomer
Good point. I guess it is obvious. If you degrade the schools, expand welfare, reduce expectations by accommodating bad behavior; you get what we see in all the large cities run by Democrats. The reality is that in all things, reasonable discipline is required to live together; people who work are more likely to be good neighbors than those on welfare.
Everyone wants to be nice to our fellow man; but letting able bodied folks live off their neighbors work is demeaning to both the neighbors and themselves. Note however, that government gains power by expanding welfare; and has done so in all the big cities.
I’m not Christian.
Most people who are on welfare ARE working- sometimes two low-paying jobs.
Many people on welfare are not able-bodied, and their psychological or physical abilities limit their ability to work. What do you wish to do with them? Put them out to die on the hillside?
What would Christ do?
