Romney characterized the poor as have-nots who choose to be that way. Where does Freud’s hierarchy of needs and Erickson’s stages of psychological development come into play?<br /><br />Consider those people who have been given little in life. Just tending to the basics is hard work for the poor. Coping with their circumstance consumes most of their time and all their resources. Let’s not kid ourselves; money makes life a whole lot easier on many fronts. <br /><br />Why are we paying federal taxes if not to support programs that benefit our society? I agree that we should be talking about how we can improve the programs that exist instead of besmirching those dependent upon them for survival. <br /><br />Did we solve the job deficit problem and are all jobs paying enough to make ends meet? <br /><br />When blessed with abundance Christians should be thankful and generous in sharing that bounty. If we were all given the same advantages in life, would God care about what we did with the talents given to us? <br /><br />The Parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) brings forth the notion that privilege brings responsibility and that responsibility entails accountability. The parable begins, ‘for it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away’ (Mattthew 25: 14-15). Through this parable God lets us know that he does not give the same blessings to everyone. We also learn that God expects us to multiply whatever talent is given to us. We need to acknowledge that there are those among us who are given small talent. We can deduce that God expects much less of those who have fewer opportunities, less guidance in their upbringing, and smaller gifts. <br /><br />Most are familiar with the Christian theme concerning preparations for the day of reckoning. We are warned to be a sheep and not a goat. ‘But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required’ (Luke 12:48). <br /><br />I think it safe to say that the poor hate being poor more than taxpayers hate giving them a hand up. <br />Rinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510703079566541948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154018758799451116.post-84507566463606768762012-09-18T18:29:13.860-04:002012-09-18T18:29:13.860-04:00Your comments are astute.

Perhaps it is unfortunate that Republicans "have it right" when it comes to stimulating the economy, adding jobs to the workforce, and rewarding employers who are skillful enough to keep businesses profitable, thereby keeping people employed. We just can't look at issues as though they're black and white, good or evil, Democrat or Republican. That's why I like Obama's plea for partnership, not partisanship--I think he means it. After all, he made a lot of concessions to get the healthcare plan approved, despite its many shortcomings. I'd like to see a requalification requirement for people on disability. If I were asked, about many of my "disabled" patients--"Are they still disabled?" I would have to answer, honestly, "No." There is no such thing as "totally and permanently disabled," but that's the label people get when they qualify for disability. It overlooks the essential resilience of the human organism, that it adapts, and corrects, and heals itself.

For this reason, I support a flat tax. With a flat tax, even the person making middle wage has a stake in the political process and a motivation to support fiscal responsibility. It is an unfortunate truth, rich individuals and corporations create most of the jobs and are the key to an economic recovery. With regards to Romney's words, in politics the truth can be held against you. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
