CONSERVATIVE Views. All Domestic Aid Should Come From Churches/Charities.

Even health care for poor people should get medical care from church or charity clinics. Their main objection is that government has no role in helping people who cannot pay for everything themselves. Conservatives simply do not believe in helping people with tax dollar. All tax dollars are sacred and should go to the rich.

Having no domestic spending is what the ACA repeal is all about. And the Ryan bill is too generous. They just want repeal and NO REPLACEMENT. The GOP and conservative view is that you have to justify your existence economically or socially.

the black panther party provided community support
And a good program
The gov. Didn't like that back then.

Black churches use to care for the community.

Now we no longer have those community supports in place.

like medical bills or disability, for example.

Conservatives are just mean and selfish, until it happens to them, then it's "gimme, gimme, gimme."

Your hero, Ayn Rand, lived on Social Security and Medicare at the end of her life, assholes.

They think the founders only wanted the military and post office supported by the federal government and everything else by the states. But that is not true. I don't believe the founders thought that at all.
