Liberals and Poverty

What bothers me about liberals is how "compassionate" they think they are and at the same time just how judgmental they are of other people who do not share their views. You often hear them talking about how their hearts break for the downtrodden and outcast and then in the very next breath accusing Americans of being "greedy" and uncaring. They are quick to talk about how we need to "spread" the wealth around to those less fortunate, but just who's wealth are they talking about? Very rarely is it their own. I am not doubting that they are sincere in their caring, what I do question are their solutions and the judgmental way they treat those who do not agree with them. All too often liberal solution seems to involve villainizing the "wealthy" and forcing "greedy" Americans to pay for their social programs, either through higher taxes or outright confiscation of wealth. Rarely do I see them taking personal responsibility for the problems and reaching into their own pockets to help out. If they truly believe in helping others as passionately as they claim to, why don't they fund the programs on their own? Why not give till it hurts out of their own pockets? Why sit in judgment on those who very well might be quietly doing more for the down trodden then they could ever imagine. There is real poverty in this world and we as Americans can do a much better job of finding solutions for it, however, forcing people to pay for solutions does not get at the root of the problem. The root of the problem is that we live in a society that no longer values life, a society that has walked away from God, a society very much created by these same bleeding heart liberals. If liberals truly believe they have the right answers and that the rest of us are just greedy and self centered, let's see them start by redistributing some of their own wealth first. But no, that won't happen because it is much easier to spend someone else's money than to have to sacrifice yourself and spend some of your own.
