Here is the an article I wrote...
WE THE POOR
Proverbs 19
1. Better is the poor that walks in his integrity than he that has perverse lips and is a fool.
4. Wealth adds many friends; But the poor is separated from his friend.
6. Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; And every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.
7. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
17. He that has pity upon the poor lends to Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again.
The Bible says a lot about the poor. Jesus said, "The poor you will always have with you." - Matthew 26.11. He also said, "give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven." Matthew 19.21. One thing the Bible does not say is that we should neglect the poor, unless he is poor because he is unwilling to work, not to be confused with unable to work.
There are many in America that are unable to work, and for many reasons. Some because they are physically handicapped. Some because they are mentally handicapped. Some because they are unskilled for the available jobs. Some because the economy is so bad, they just can't find a job. And the economy is so bad because it has been mismanaged by the Government, which I wrote about here: line2016.freeforums.net/thread/236/poverty
To help the poor, we need politicians that first care about the poor. We need churches that care about the poor. Not those where the pastor is getting $125,000 per week and flies in $65,000,000 private jet.
To start with, I believe we need to elect a poor person to the Presidency. One who knows the causes of poverty and has a plan to deal with it. If we the poor people of the Unite States would unite, we can do this. Oh, yes, this is about the politics of poverty as well as anything else dealing with the poor.
The Federal Government is controlled by big corporations with very wealthy CEOs that care nothing about about the poor. And, may I say, that's one of the reasons Donald Trump should not be re-elected.
Some might say that I am trying to create a schism between the poor and the rich to become the next President. I don't have to create that schism, it already exists. And it is the actions of the rich that care nothing about the poor that has caused it.
Government had made commerce so complicated that poor people don't have a chance to start businesses. And I am sure that has been done purposefully to protect the corporate elite from competition.
What poor people need and want is a level playing field, and the opportunities that the rich have. Let us sell our apples, our lemonade, or whatever else we have to sell so we can start on own business. Then maybe, some youngster who had a lemonade stand could grow up to be a Donald Trump. But big government and big corporations don't want that. That's why We the Poor must unite and elect people that will make the changes we need to succeed.
WE the POOR can make this Country a better place for everyone, if we just unite we can do it. Please, come join the team.
LET US RESCUE THE POOR TOGETHER
