You, You Are Responsible For The Poor and Unemployed

THIS IS A RANT

John 12:8 'For the poor always ye have with you. . .'

While I will include my religious beliefs in this rant, it must stated firstly that I have no political leanings but that does not mean I don't have eyes to see and ears to hear. I feel sorry for those who really believe change is possible working within the system because the system is fueled by money. The current president, Barack Obama, would not be where he is today without the absolutely insane amounts of donations that poured into his coffers. It was not by the grace of "God" he is there. And for all the conservatives, it wasn't by the grace of "God" George W. Bush and his family fortune were ever in office.

The United States has an astronomical unemployment rate, and up until now, federal benefits have helped many of these people keep their heads above water. Now, some people, a Republican filibuster, has tried to prevent those benefits from being renewed. There is a large segment of society that believes some people are simply lazy, or not trying. It would do no good to show these people the data, the facts that there are simply not enough decent paying jobs in this country for the ones who are currently unemployed. And by "DECENT," I mean jobs that actually allow people to make ends meet.

There is a lack of charity. I have heard people talk about not wanting charity to come through government, to leave that to other agencies, make it a private task.

The point that is being missed is, that would be fine, if mankind had not put themselves in control of the economy in the first place. Because government has wrested control of the economy from the hands of the Lord - Yes, it is your responsibility as a governmental body to care for the poor and unemployed.

When Hitler was amassing his powerbase, Edward Crankshaw wrote about the cynicism of the German people at the time. He said that it could separate "political action from private morals." That is where we are. We somehow think we can remain moral while doing things completely immoral for political reasons.

Genesis 4:11 'And now thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.'

Economic instability is simply a result of mankind getting away from the agrarian society Yahweh had always intended mankind to prosper from. In 1 Timothy 6:7-8, we are reminded that we were born with nothing, and we can take nothing with us - and while we are here - we should learn how to be content with food and raiment. This is not saying the things beyond those things are evil in themselves, but truth be told, we have made these 'wants' into necessities, often by law - and our greed to have far more than we need on a day by day basis, has left many without on a day by day basis. And still many don't care.

These many are Cain's spiritual offspring. They are the ones who are cursed and build cities where prairies and farms once stood. They didn't want to work to please the Lord - only themselves - much like Cain. They destroyed the foundation of the agrarian world making it nearly impossible for those who wish to live that way, to live that way.

Instead they erected an unstable platform of faith in vain and unnecessary discoveries and progress - invention unleashed the strength of the illegal fruit into the bloodstream of the world.

When mankind shaded the earth with this platform based on currency, coercion, and rape of the natural earth, it took responsibility for everyone on the earth. We are all sentenced to walk on this wobbly gangplank.

The true economy is one where everyone is dependent on the Lord for their basic needs on a day by day basis.  This involves having faith that what is needed will be provided.

Those who are cursed, or those who simply feel they are cursed, or even worse, those who don't want to simply exist in the basic will of the Lord, fight for power, for wealth, for security, for everything. 

Those that were cursed were supposed to be dependent on those who were not for their basic needs.  Instead, they listened to the influences of their spiritual father and created a world where some have more, some have less, and some have nothing at all.  And in this world, it truly is king of the hill.  While the platform teeters back and forth, men and women scrabble about, pushing and shoving, claiming pieces of the platform, shoving others aside, casting them out in the abyss.  It is kill or be killed.  That is Cain - the one spilling the blood of his brother in the earth.

John 8:44 'Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye wil do.  He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth. . .'

By taking away the support, the benefits the unemployed in this country need, they are so far from the truth - they are murdering families.  Since you don't want to live the way Yahweh created for you, you are responsible and you can't separate your political and moral obligations - especially if you are in Christ.

Helping people does not make them lazy.  Giving them a business climate where decent work is shipped overseas by greedy individuals and corporations is what destroys their hope.  If politicians really want to show they are not in anyone's pocket, then nail the supposedly patriotic US corporations that have shipped all their decent jobs overseas and hired people over there for pennies.  But they won't.  As imperialist, we have set our flag in the soil of other nations, and killed off our own flower of youth protecting greedy industrialist who see dollar signs bleeding out of graves. 

There is nothing fair or honest about the owner of a business, or the president of a company, or even shareholders, making more money than the employs who labor to provide that wealth.  That is exploitation no matter how you size it up.  If someone takes a greater share, for whatever reason, then they are having respect of persons - respect of themselves.

Business has made it so that many who don't want to be exploited are labelled as lazy.  They won't work in our mines, or do our work, so they are no good. 

If you had left many of these the land the Lord gave them, they would have been blessed with fertile fields and you would be the one's begging for food.  But no, by coercion and by law, you claimed ownership of it - you stole it from those who first had it.  You justified it by your laws. 

In Christ's system there is no unemployment, and there is no want.  Everyone has what they need - and those who don't are provided for by the charity of others.  No one is naked, or hungry or homeless. 

But that is not the world you have built.  You created your world and now you are responsible.

So when those people who can find no work are asking for benefits, for help - you best remember that in the Lord it is a duty - and because you circumvented the Lord with your government - its your government's duty. 

Otherwise, go back to living off the land, and lets see who really is blessed by the Lord, and who is not.  I got a feeling, even if we did - the Cain's of the world would soon take to redesigning this little fraudelent world of theirs that doesn't work - well at least not for those who are out of work, homeless and losing all hope.

Amen
