Quick thought on social supports

Government funded and controlled social support is very prevalent in the United States. Social supports should be formed and encouraged through families, churches, charities, and private foundations. Services and goods are best delivered through a free market. Taxation has been utilized as a means to provide social support and when this occurs, individuals feel less obligated to be charitable and formulate a rational thought that "the government will take care of the problem" and neglect any personal responsibility. The true laws of economics are beginning to show that many government social supports may not sustain. A family would be better able to provide social support to its members if the fruits of their labor were not seized without their consent. We will know that we are part of a community of people who love and care for each other when liberty is truly achieved. For it is freedom that brings people together - it does not divide. Through this achievement, the true strength of social supports will be abundant. Families must be strengthened and the good will and creativeness of individuals must be fostered.
