What is hateful about not being forced to give your earned wealth away? What do liberals know about being Christian? Being Christian has nothing to do with a requirement of giving to charity. That is a result of being a Christian, an attribute, but not a requirement. Even Christ said "if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach him to fish, he feeds himself for life." or something similar to that. Please don't suggest that you know something when you really don't understand it. You attempt to use what you perceive as a weakness to get under a conservative's skin.

The problem with liberals is that they believe that we are our brother's keepers. We are not. In America, you have the same right to excel as the next guy. We are not all equal but we are treated equal with equal rights. What you do with your right is your privilege, not an obligation. A wealthy person is not obligated to give his money away. In America, one should never be forced to give away his wealth so that the lazy or unfortunate can live a better lifestyle. That attitude is what caused the first settlers to our country to fail miserably, a result of trying to incorporate the Mayflower Compact ( a socialist mandate).

Our lower class lives as well as middle class in socialist countries. That is a fact. I have been to other countries, and lived in other countries and have seen how their middle class live.

To feel that one is entitled to what others earn, is pure idiocy. You have no right or entitlement to someone else's labor, investment or inheritance. To suggest that the wealthy owe someone else because they might be Christian, is just assuming. You assume that ALL conservatives are Christian. They may well be, but that doesn't obligate them. Everyone practices their faith in a different manner. It is not for you to criticize that faith. Maybe, since you feel that conservatives are all Christian, that is why conservatives feel that ALL liberals are atheists.
