[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the child care tax credit? Or the mortgage interest write off that allows people to live in bigger houses to accommodate families? How about free public education? Or subsidized college loans? If you can't afford to send your own kid to college, why should the taxpayers help you?

OP, do you oppose public benefits for the middle and upper classes, or only those that benefit the poor? Serious question. [/quote]

I support public benefits when they benefit the public, not when they enable them to continue making poor choices. Father loses job, has 4 kids. Yes, help him. poor student gets free education...absolutely, as long as he wants to learn. Welfare recipient having more kids to collect more benefits, no frickin way. 
Help those who want to help themselves.

BOOM! Game on![/quote]

I support making sure children don't go hungry, even if conservatives think denying them food is a game.[/quote]

Hey liberal,

Put your money where your mouth is.  It is common knowledge that conservatives are significantly more charitable than liberals.  Conservatives hate the poor?  Then why do we [u]personally[/u] do so much more than you guys to lend them a hand?  [/quote]

1.  I'm a lifelong churchgoer and contribute heavily.
2.  A tiny, tiny fraction of the money you donate to church goes anywhere other than benefitting yourself.  I know this from the many church financial statements I have reviewed over the years.  It averages about 5%.  So basically 95% of what you give to church comes back to you.

But hey, whow me your church financials.  Prove me wrong.  I'd love to see how half of your money goes to the poor.  I can't wait.  Oh and in case you are Catholic, I was too.  So I know the numbers including special collections, Catholic Charities, etc. added in.[/quote]
