Constitution Party on Welfare & Poverty

	Constitution Party on Welfare & Poverty

Welfare provisions misdirected & morally destructive

The message of Christian charity is fundamentally at odds with the concept of welfare maintenance as a right. In many cases, welfare provisions by the Federal government are not only misdirected, but morally destructive. It is the intended purpose of civil government to safeguard life, liberty and property--not to redistribute wealth. Such redistribution is contrary to the Biblical command against theft.
