Big-government fans in Ohio are promoting an expansion of the food stamp program. Expect the same nonsense to catch on here in Kentucky soon enough:
"If you really want to help people who need such help - do so. With your own funds or time or talents that you have. But don't fall prey to lobbying efforts and then use them as an excuse to take more money from the dwindling supply the rest of us have."
Maggie Thurber has the whole story here.

This is the thing about liberals; they have an illness known as "Robin Hood Syndrome". They believe that by forcing the taxpayer to "give", they are somehow doing humanity good. I am being kind here. Many liberals are merely buying votes with fleeced taxpayer dollars.
Some newsflashes for liberals...
...God does not bless giving unless it is given with a humble and willing heart, fleeced money does not fall into that category.
...If you really want to help someone, don't write him a check, show him how to earn his own money and expect him to do so. People respond to high expectations. Welfare forces low expectations upon people and the dismal performance of welfare since its inception proves this correct.
...Investigation has shown that conservatives, me included, give more to charity than liberals do, by far. In 2000, this lowly middle class worker gave more to charity than the "prophet of global warming" Al Gore-on.
...For every dollar government takes, only a small portion gets to its intended destination. This is known as government inefficiency and waste.
If you really want to help people, put your money where your mouth is liberal. Pull it out of your own wallet, not someone else’s. Give to a good Bible preaching local church that has a mission or missions to the poor. "Gubbament cheese" cannot replace the work of the church, another clandestine role of welfare.
Exodus 35:5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD;
Exodus 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation…
Bluegrass Policy still rejects American values. Thomas Jefferson wrote: "The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government."
Expanding food stamps, is not expanding big government. It's promoting good government.
Your supply of money wouldn't be dwindling if we had a proportional tax system that assessed a toll on the movement of all moneys as envisioned by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Paper 12. He wrote:
"The ability of a country to pay taxes must always be proportioned, in a great degree, to the quantity of money in circulation, and to the celerity with which it circulates. Commerce, contributing to both these objects, must of necessity render the payment of taxes easier, and facilitate the requisite supplies to the treasury."
That would be a basis for a fair tax system. You won't find a Republican or conservative around who really wants a fair tax system. They want a tax system of reverse Robin Hood that takes from the many and give to the wealthy few, just like Bush's tax cuts did.
Note to free:
The New Testament doesn't teach tithing. Yet most so-called "New Testament" churches teach tithing, which is a part of the curse of the law. "Tithing" is fleecing money.
Most so-called Bible-believing churches. Don't teach New Testament Bible. Instead, they run to the Old Testament, as you did, to fleece their flocks.
The apostle Paul called the Old Testament crap. The writer of Hebrews said it was soon passing away.
First century Christians rejected the tyrannical god Jehovah of the Old Testament, in place of the unnamed god of love of the New Testament. You won't hear that in so-called Bible-preaching churches.
