Is this in the Bible ? [View all]

Jesus said to help the poor and sick, right?

But, did he say "If someone comes up with a plan to help the poor and sick, turn against it" ?

Did he say "If you are tired of helping people who are hungry, no problem, just cut them off" ?

Seriously, does anyone here know of ANY kind, loving, and caring rationale to be against Healthcare and
Food Stamps ??
