You can believe what you want, but I have said that needy people can seek help from friends and family first, then places like churches....

I have seen collection jars on store counters around here all my life, local people in crisis get helped from the community even without asking, I think without being taxed for the exact purpose of helping the needy even more people would be putting money into things like that.

When I hear of a family loosing their home to a fire, etc, I donate what I can, I hope you do the same.
What goes around comes around.

Our governments use of the needy to creat jobs and revenue is way past the experiment stage, and it's time to find a way to end it.
