It might be my imagination, but this year I sense a spirit of caring that prevails across the country. Times are tough and people are out of work. I hear that a lot. It is what makes those who are working care for those who aren’t working. People not only care, they are giving from their hearts. I see Giving Trees at church, and at the Township Hall. I see people stuffing dollar bills into canisters at check out counters, I see people standing in front of super-markets with collection cans. Most are collecting for food. There are coat collection drives, toys for tots, and the list grows as the need increases. We are a giving nation, and conditions warrant taking care of those who are suffering, and I see people giving from their hearts.
Yes, Uncle does help, but only by placing a mortgage on the kids they help. Imagine if you were giving a gift to someone, but you made them sign a paper to pay it back with interest? Uncle takes a big cut to keep high paid government workers voting his way.
Couldn’t we do better by ourselves? Couldn’t private organizations do a better, more efficient job of taking care of those in need than Uncle? Yes we can, and we do.

Government takes from those who earn, take a big cut off the top and then uses the rest to buy votes from those who don’t earn. Thee are over 60,000,000 people working for one part of government or another, that produce nothing tangible. Thats quite a burden to put upon those who do produce. How long before there is more government than producers? What then?
