Title: There is no such thing as a Free Lunch    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
The idea that there is anything Free is Delusional. It denies the reality that there is always some effort and scarce resources involved in everything that we consume.

Now, someone may say that the air we breath is Free. Actually, the oxygen in it comes from the plant life that converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Hence, the plants have to work to provide the oxygen that we breath.

Just because no one charges you monetarily for something does not mean it is Free. It is only Free to you. The person who produced or purchased the thing that you receive freely had to invest their resources to obtain it.

Now, God wants us to be givers as He is the greatest giver. However, God expects us to be thankful to Him for the gifts we receive of Him.

Unthankfulness and unholiness are linked together in Spiritual terms. 2Ti 3:2

So, whenever a person does not connect the gift with the giver they are naturally unthankful. That unthankfulness will alse engender unholiness.

The problem with our Robin Hood GreatSociety is that the receivers of FreeStuff are disconnected from their true benefactors.

Who are the benefactors in the GreatSociety? Taxpayers.

And for those who have always lived on FreeStuff I need to explain that a Taxpayer is a person who produces Wealth some of which is taken by force by the Government and then given to you as FreeStuff.

If you receive anything of value and do not pay for it, someone has either given it to you or you have stolen it.

Here is something to chew on: If the Government takes my Wealth by force and gives it to you, then the Government has stolen from me and you are responsible for receiving stolen goods. In fact, you have stolen by proxy.

There is no such thing as FreeStuff.
