SAINT PAUL'S VIEWS ON WELFARE

An excerpt from Chapter 3 of his 2nd Letter to the Thessalonians

"For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you. ... In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwiling to work, neither should that one eat."

What's wrong with this model? Why do we lavish welfare on able-bodied slobs? I've had enough of it; no work, no eat.
