Maybe there aren't many jobs in her area. Maybe she cannot afford transit to another part of town.
Do you think Jesus would mock her?
Quoting: Happy in Nature Honestly, I don't think he was mocking her, just stating a fact. Like I said earlier, raising her wages to $15 will do nothing for her, they will just cut her welfare.
Do you know how many working poor there are? Those moms and dads don't have as nice a place as her and probably less food and NO medical, and they don't get to spend all their time with their kids as she clearly does since she's only working a few hours. What would Jesus think about the working poor being snubbed on a daily basis?
My mom worked three minimum wage jobs in FL and couldn't qualify for assistance while my black high school gym teacher drove a Lincoln and supplemented her income with food stamps.
I grew up in Vermont, home of the Welfare Queen. I am 100% against this lifestyle.
I also know many people who needed a couple years of assistance to get on their feet. I would rather pay out welfare benefits to keep kids fed and sheltered rather than making them homeless.
Many kids go to public schools just to get breakfast and lunch. The Democrats created ghettos with their pubic housing. The schools are a reflection of the neighborhood. The businesses are a reflection of the neighborhood. It is very hard to get out of this situation. Not impossible, but not as simple as getting a better job.
A handful of people control most of the resources in the world, and yet we blame the poor for being poor.
If a wealthy person gets pregnant and has a baby, that's ok. But if a poor person has sex and gets pregnant, she should work 80 hours a week and never see her baby because she deserves it for getting pregnant and not being able to support a kid, right?
She is at least trying to get a job. She isn't bragging about popping out another kid for more WIC benefits.
Matthew 15:32
And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.”
