I am no fan of either party, but would Christians rise to help the poor if government assistance was taken away? Maybe I have a cynical view of humanity, but we are quite selfish, and if you couple that with American individualism, I am skeptical.Persishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686511618515789601noreply@blogger.com
