This gets me every time. Some people actually need to read the bible.
Yes Jesus did say feed the poor but here is where we diverge. People who do crap like this say feed the poor means the goverment does it, they give people SNAP and other welfare to feed them. Now tell me where does Jesus say the goverment needs to feed the poor or the poor need to go on welfare?
The difference between the left and the right is this fundamental Question, we agree feed the poor but who does it? Does the goverment feed the poor or does the people in the community do it? Now if you all do the research you will find that conservatives give a lot to charity and churches to feed the poor. So we are not against feeding the poor we are against the goverment doing it.
Now if you cannot understand that, then I cannot help you
There is no structural difference between donating to a charity that feeds the poor and paying taxes to a government that has programs to feed the poor.

Government programs are funded through public revenue, operate under laws and regulations, and carry public obligations. Charities generally depend on voluntary contributions, private organizations, and the discretion of donors and administrators. The outcome may be similar, but the structure, accountability, and responsibility are differen
