9. Materially lifting humans out of poverty has always, always been a free will decision.

Along these lines, we Democrats of the state have had a good track record of helping the poor, not just churches.

It's a poor excuse to fail to remember this:
The poor have always existed because the greedy and indifferent have existed.

To tax the rich so that the poor may live well is a FREE WILL DECISION.

It's also a free will decision by anyone and everyone to give up on helping the poor. Immortal souls will live after death according to what humans' free wills did for the poor. If there is no earthly justice for the poor, there will be divine justice for those who 'willed' not help them.

Passing off cynicism as wisdom about the state of human affairs is a worthless life strategy.
