Where to begin? First, no one said Jesus was a socialist. Social programs like food stamps, welfare benefits, SSI were mentioned. Look at all other civilized countries and they have cradle to grave social programs. That is good!

Higher taxes for these things from those who can afford it! Good! Not redistribution of wealth but social programs!

Treat people equally? Great! Do it!![/QUOTE]

Socialism is GOOD??? That's your opinion, not the majority of real Americans.

Higher taxes from those that can afford it??? Why do believe in discrimination? I thought you folks didn't believe in discrimination. What you are saying is opposite of "fair" which your supposedly believe in. Fair to you is not fair to others, that have to sacrifice, that worked for a living.
Not redistribution of wealth??? I didn't say it was, but now that you mention it, it is. If the gov takes from the wealthy to give to the lazy, then that is called redistribution. Call it what you prefer, but like they say, you can put lipstick on a pig.....
