Re: Contextualising the bump
quote:
Yeah, it's an interesting thought process isn't it - "our policy is to reduce taxes for the wealthy, and to cut the benefits and help given to the poor and the needy - but don't worry guys, because if you're lucky, we'll all remember to be very Christian and give some of our wealth to you after we've done this. Please, please - no thanks are necessary - it's the Christian thing for us to do."
In the very early 20st century there was here in Belgium a priest Deans who was campainging for better living conditions for the proletariat and the poor. He could be described as socialist. A very conservative spokesman, Karel Woeste once answered him. "My dear priest, we need the poor how else can we exercsise our christian duty of charity?"
