Mitt Romney not concerned with the very poor (i.e the lazy) -
02-01-2012, 10:37 PM
Friends,
I understand Mitt Romney is mormon but I can't help but to be in agreement with him more and more.
One thing I cannot stand is America's lazy population who complain incessantly about how rough they have it. Give me a break, the Bible tells us; work hard, be rewarded.
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Proverbs 10:4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Want to stop being poor? Get off your lazy behinds and GET A JOB
God Bless Mr Romney for his tough love stance on the lazy poor.
Quote:
In an interview on CNN, Romney said he was not concerned about the poorest Americans, but that his primary focus was on the middle class.
“I’m not concerned about the very poor, we have a safety net there,” he said, adding, “If it needs repair, I’ll fix it.”
Romney also said he would leave concern for the poor to the Democratic party.
“We will hear from the Democrat party the plight of the poor,” Romney said. “And there’s no question it’s not good being poor and we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But my campaign is focused on middle Americans.
“You can choose where to focus, you can focus on the rich, that’s not my focus. You can focus on the very poor, that’s not my focus. My focus is on middle income Americans, retirees living on Social Security, people who can’t find work.”

Brother Cressor
While I have always supported Mitt Romney I believe Romney is being quoted out context here by accurately posting his full and complete statement. To understand the bigger picture here with Romney's words the key is were is the emphases.
“I’m not concerned about the very poor, we have a safety net there,” he said, adding, “If it needs repair, I’ll fix it."
Since Romney has signed on to the Ryan plan, Romney is saying "I have already decided to take the social safety net away from these deadbeats, so there will be no very poor because they will all be dead from starvation or get jobs."
And the same for the Middle Class.
"My focus is on middle income Americans, retirees living on Social Security, people who can’t find work.” Mitt is going to fix them too.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Indeed -
The liberal media always confuses me with their biased reporting. I had checked Fox News first, but oddly enough the story wasn't posted yet.
Thanks for clarifying Brother Joe.

I wonder if maybe this is the time we can finally put Freehold in the National spotlight. We have a story to tell.
What do we do for the poor in Freehold? Nothing.
How many poor people do we have in Freehold? None.
In that way, we are a model for the entire country.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

If the very poor would just go away, they would not longer be a drain suckling on the teat of my taxes. Just look what those leeches did to Maria Shriver.
Mitt took a vocal stand and is not hiding behind politics like that obanana 'person' is about hs 'American' birth.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Why should anyone be concerned with the very poor? They're obviously not concerned about themselves or they would get off their lazy behinds and get jobs. How hard can it be? This is America, after all.

Most poor people are homosexual. The days of the queers are consumed with thoughts of how many others they can convert to to fagness.
Having been a homeless gay, I have no sympathy at all for those that choose to be poor.
I'm just not an enabler of sin.

Indeed, sister. A new haircut and a nice outfit is all anyone needs to get out of the doldrums and find a job.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

There is no excuse to be poor. All you have to do is follow the Holy Word of God to the letter, trust in the Lord, and give every red cent you've got to God's favorite church, and Jesus will reward you beyond your wildest dreams.
Quote:
Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. Mark 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. Mark 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: Mark 12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Mitt Romney (whom I have ALWAYS supported) is unemployed, yet you don't see Mitt Romney on the street corner asking for welfare checks! Romney is pulling himself up by his bootstraps by spending some of his savings from his Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Islands to get job. The man is a role model.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

As a proud one-percenter, I'm a bit miffed that Mitt is publicly proclaiming to turn his back on the very rich and focus on the "middle class". Rich people do more for this country than those suburban leeches ever will. Hopefully, he's just talking out of his ass and feeding the idiotic masses what they want to hear.
I want a candidate who will unabashedly stand up and say "YES! I stand up for the One Percent! The rest of you can all die in a fire for all I'm concerned." It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the poor (and to a lesser extent, the middle class) are consumers and not producers. They give nothing to society and just take, take, take.
Do I really have to point out that...
- The rich create jobs. When a Wal-Mart opens up, it creates hundreds of wonderful, well-paying minimum wage jobs, whereas a typical Mom and Pop store might have one, maybe two job openings?
- The rich stimulate the economy. If the one percent e own 99% of the wealth, it stands to reason that we are spending 99% of the wealth! Keep our taxes low, repeal the death tax, and allow us a total free market and we'll get this country back on track!
- Rich people are morally superior. Think about it; when's the last time a rich person ever goes to prison? Hardly ever, and when they do, it's such a rare event it makes frontpage news.
So Mitt, don't give up on your own kind! I really hope he's just feeding them hope-and-change BS and that he won't be a traitor to his own class.

Rev. Osborne, once again, your comments are right on the money. If I did not have to pay so much in taxes, I could afford more employees. If my tax rate dropped to say 10%, that would save me $5mm annually. At $18K/year, I could hire as many as 100 more people. Could you imagine another 100 middle class people with productive jobs? 100 more people that could hear the Word of God all day while working. It would be truly glorious.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

What's the big deal anyway? Everybody knows unemployment goes up when we have a demoncrat president. That's because all the shifty layabouts know they can get enough welfare to live a comfortable life with the lieberals in charge.

Quoted for the truth!!
Rev. Jim, I would just like to add that Mitt may not only be a traitor to his class, but to his faith! According to other religious conservatives the safety net is unbiblical
Please excuse that I linked to a liberal hate site, but for once, they reported with Fox News like accuracy.
Quote:
Yesterday, Liberty Counsel pushed out a statement promoting the Christian Reconstructionist notion that the Bible gives the government no role in addressing poverty: Romney wrongly assumes that it is the role of government to provide more entitlements to help the poor. In fact, that is not the role of government. The historical biblical view of helping the poor is that they are best helped by individuals and the faith community. Government programs tend to enslave the poor in an endless cycle of poverty. The biblical model is that both, the giver and the recipient, are blessed. When government steps in between the giver and the recipient, the giver loses the blessing of giving and the recipient is often left in a worse, rather than better, position. Romney's statement that he would rely on government programs to help the poor indicates his intent to continue the same failed big government programs and policies….it is the duty of the church, the faith community, to look after the poor, the orphans, and the widows.

We know that that is true even with the ongoing discrimination against white people that is getting worse every day. A conservative, heterosexual, caucasian man must today show clearly superior qualifications in order to get a job.
Phil 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Matt 5:17-20 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:..."
