The Takers

May 07, 2020 by Daniel Frey in coronavirus, politics, resist, trump

You and I are considered the takers by conservative America.

If you are on welfare.

If you are on food stamps.

If you get a Social Security check.

If you are on Medicare.

If you are on Medicaid.

If you are on Obamacare.

If you are a working woman who took a job from a white man.

If you are a minority, who took a job from a white man.

If your housing is subsidized by the state or the feds.

If you are a minority and have gotten a loan to start a business.

If you are a racial minority, a woman, or gay, asking for justice.

If you complain.

If you're not satisfied and want a better life.

If you believe everyone should pay their fair share of taxes.

If you vote for a Democrat.

If you believe in equal rights.

If you get a pension.

If you are living in an extended care facility.

If you are a migrant.

If you are black.

If you are brown.

If you are an Asian.

If you need childcare.

If you need an abortion.

If you want equal pay for equal work.

If you believe there is a need for a federal government.

If you believe in freedom of speech.

If you believe in a free press.

If you want the freedom to be safe.

If you demand police accountability.

If you believe in sharing.

You are a taker.

You are a taker.

You are a taker.

Isn't that strange?

Humans come in two varieties.

Those who share and those who can't.

Conservatives conserve; they don't believe in sharing.

Those who believe in sharing are labeled as takers with derogatory slang.

Consider a lesson taught by all good teachers, both in society and in the home, for generation after generation.

Share and share alike.

We share to lessen the burden of the heart, mind, and spirit.

We all share in carrying the load.

The load is the burden of everyday life.

That's why communities formed.

Communities are formed so we all don't have to repeat individually what we can all do together.

We share the load.

Those who don't want to share have isolated themselves from the world as well as their own existence.

It is fear that keeps too many of us from reaching out and saying I'm in trouble.

I need help.

If we want that better world, we need to reach out and lift up our conservative brothers and sisters.

They're going to scream they don't help.

So we have to be an example of community.

Let them see a beautiful community come together.

A place where we practice the common good.

A place where we practice freedom from fear.

A place where we practice giving.

Give so that those who live under the burden of fear may find happiness.

Peace
