Food collected will be given to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix Today, government welfare programs have supplemented the old-style private programs. One major reason for this is that the policies of high taxes and inflationary Federal Reserve money imposed on the American people in order to finance the welfare state have reduced the income available for charitable giving. Many over-taxed Americans take the attitude toward private charity that "I give at the (tax) office.“ Releasing the charitable impulses of the American people by freeing them from the excessive tax burden so they can devote more of their resources to charity, is a moral and constitutional means of helping the needy. By contrast, the federal welfare state is neither moral nor constitutional. Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government given the power to levy excessive taxes on one group of citizens for the benefit of another group of citizens. Many of the founders would have been horrified to see modern politicians define compassion as giving away other people's money stolen through confiscatory taxation. In the words of the famous essay by former Congressman Davy Crockett, this money is "Not Yours to Give.'‘ Voluntary charities also promote self-reliance, but government welfare programs foster dependency. In fact, it is in the self-interest of the bureaucrats and politicians who control the welfare state to encourage dependency. After all, when a private organization moves a person off welfare, the organization has fulfilled its mission and proved its worth to donors. In contrast, when people leave government welfare programs, they have deprived federal bureaucrats of power and of a justification for a larger amount of taxpayer funding. (Ron Paul in the US House of Representatives, February 13, 2003) Supporters of Ron Paul, having been inspired by his message that community welfare starts at the local level, are working to help provide our community families with a happier, healthier Holiday Season. Although none of the Food or Proceeds collected will benefit the Ron Paul campaign directly, We feel that this act of kindness will achieve a great start in reclaiming our community responsibilities. “charity work doesn’t seem to exist anymore; yet there was a time when there was substantial charity work….We’ve gotten this way because the government put us this way.” -Ron Paul -RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2008- For more information please Contact: Brittani or Mark Graham 480-656-9367 http://ronpaul.meetup.com/7/
