Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus

But did Jesus proscribe government welfare programs? It seems to be that the basis for “Jesus was a socialist”, is based on his teachings on charity. But this can be done by personal charity, and infact those are the examples he gave. Nowhere in the Bible does it say “you should vote for needs-based welfare programs”.

You turn away from Jesus when you ignore the needs of others.

  But that’s not socialism, is it?
  
  Also you can try to argue that some methods of welfare distribution are inefficient, but you can’t argue that the needs are being ignored.

    You think the GOP looks after people’s needs?! The gop is the party of “f**k you, I’ve got mine”.
