Get Up, Get Out, And Get Something

"Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.  For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you,  nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 
 
It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.  For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. 
 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. 

If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother."
2 Thessalonians 3:6-15

About eight years ago, I equated the redistribution of wealth in society to the redistribution of students GPA points on a college campus and today my church showed a video detailing the exact notion.

It taking from the success and surplus of other's hard work and supplementing other's lack and deficit right?
Is subtracting from a 4.0 gained from steadfast studies and constant work and given to the bong toking, class skipping, truent fair??
Why should one's achievement be penalized so a sponge can benefit??

A plea to our President....if he wants a great nation, quit giving away handouts. If you didn't earn it, it's not your money to be enjoyed
. In fact,  it is a blatant sin and downright shame if you're able to work, to sit idle and wait with an open mouth.

"Ask a government worker what they do....and they will tell you, they update obsolete files all day long." Michael Youseff.
