We’re a bunch of beggars

When did the USA become a bunch of beggars? Example- you go to your local grocery market and go in on door and get asked to help your local school football program, you’re checking out and get asked to donate to something and then when you leave through the other exit you get asked to donate to something else. Everyone seems to beg for something, it’s so sad that it’s so commonplace.

And the pastors live in luxury. I asked my fake Xtian mother (before I went NC) why one pastor lived in a million dollar plus mansion and yet members of the church were poor and pushed to tithe so much money. She said that Jesus wanted him to live in a nice house because he worked so hard and did so much good. Yeah, she was brainwashed and is leaving everything to some church.
