Who Cares about the poor?

I reads as if you are making a political statement without coming right out being totally forthcoming so I am not exactly sure where you are going with your point of view. I, on the otherhand, have observed that no matter who is in the first chair the people of this country fund the government. Speaking only for myself, I proper more when the this out-going party is not in house. Everyone gives in their own way and that is totally their call. If they are voted in our beds have been made and we must lie in them for the duration. If luck is with us, all will be well; if not, then we must endure to the end and then try again. It is a bit unrealistic to expect one man, one administration, or even one nation to be the champion for the poor; that task begins with each individual. It is up to the individual to act, providing one act of kindness at a time. I grew up in a very poor community but no one ever starved there. Welfare and other public assistance was uncommon. Our community helped each other regardless of who was at the helm of this great land. We ate at each other's tables, worked each other's fields and cared for one another's children. We shared our clothing, money, homes and time. We took care of the sick and shut-in and assisted the weak. We were a community of many races, creeds, colors, nationalities; we had the poorest of poor and the middle class and even a few that were well off. No one was ever forgotten or ignored, there was never inflamatory language on subjects regarding the poor or any administration. We just put our shoulders to the wheel and pushed along as individuals and helped whomever needed our help. If we could not provide what was needed, we recruited other members of the community to help. No one ever went without unless it was their choice for our community was always at the ready to help anyone in need. I feel a bigger question is: "Will we care for the poor?" The climate in Washington is reflective of the people of this nation so where should we point the finger when it comes to those in need? Do we pay tithe and give offerrings to the church? Do we volunteer or provide community service? What are we doing for the poor? What we do, Washington will follow because they need us to stay in power. Upset the people enough and they will work to remove you from office. It is time to become more retro in our perspective and take upon us the responsibilities that our our own. We will end up paying for any help the poor receives anyway; why not do it personally and with a cheerful heart. There will always be someone who is poor but that just provides us the opportunity to develop true charity. Sometimes I am better off than others but I always try to help others in anyway that I can. I do it because it is the right thing to do; and to answer your question: I will stand to help the poor because it is my individual responsibility, and I hope you will do the same.
