Reply #4: The New Deal "dilutes the judgment of god" who is punishing w/poverty [View All]

God rewards those who are good with wealth. This is known as "blessing". Like an xtian would say "God blessed me with great wealth".

God punishes evildoers and the slothful with poverty. If the poor repent of their evil ways, and get right with God, then he will bless them too.

That is why helping the poor is bad. see these articles:

The Problems with Public Welfare
http://www.chalcedon.edu/articles/0411/041101-1gentry.php

excerpt

Americans have long been known to be a charitable people. Unfortunately, government intervention could be changing that. The government has entered and gained monopolistic ascendancy in this field as in so many others. Being charitable makes it a bit difficult for us to speak out against public welfarism, lest we appear to be unconcerned for the needs of the poor. However, there are numerous compelling reasons why we can legitimately decry public welfarism and still maintain — even emphasize — our concern for the less fortunate in our society.

Public welfare destroys the personal relationship and interaction that can be achieved through private, local charity. Big government is faceless and cannot express truly empathetic concern for the needy. The human element, so essential to aid the poor, is sacrificed to computerization.


It actually destroys a true sense of genuine charity among the general populace. Charity today is coercively maintained. How many times have you heard complaints about excessive taxation? And what accounts for a very large percentage of our national debt? I used to work in a grocery store and constantly overheard grumbling from the shoppers who had to pinch their pennies while they observed a heavily loaded shopping cart of choice items being paid for with food stamps. Not only are ill feelings fostered, but also there is provided an excuse to shift responsibility when private charities appeal for funds: "The government has the resources. They will handle the situation."


It destroys, through excessive taxation, the capacity of private citizens and organizations to help. Personal income is eroded through redistributive tax schemes, thus leaving fewer funds for personal charity. Remember the recent uproar over the enormous increase in the Social Security tax? There goes some more money that could have been available for private charity.


It undermines personal responsibility and incentive in the poor to help themselves. Welfare funds are addictive. Withdrawal is hard.
