I said "Socialism comes in many forms". Jesus said we need to help the poor, sick, hungry and homeless.  He did not define how we do it. He said that we will be judged based on the our ability to meet the need. I think we have a responsibility to address the poverty today BOTH individually and with Government (which is all of us). You are free to drop out and be judged. Please don't tell me that this problem will be solved individually or that Jesus said the poor will always be with us and we should accept that. Jesus loved the poor and to turn our backs is not following Jesus or God's will and is a problem we need to act on.
