Our Heavenly Father has described His vast plan for His children by saying, “Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39; emphasis added). Consider the significance of the Lord’s use of the word work. What He is doing so lovingly and redemptively is, nevertheless, work—even for Him! We, likewise, speak of “working out our salvation,” of the “law of the harvest,” and of the “sweat of the brow” (see Moses 5:1; see also Inspired Version, Gen. 4:1). These are not idle phrases. Instead, they underscore the importance of work. In fact, brethren, work is always a spiritual necessity even if, for some, work is not an economic necessity.

Thank you!!!!!! I am glad to see there are others out there that understand the truth of liberalism. Most dems I know dont do anything and expect the government to do it by taxing the “wealthy”. I know I am having the crap taxed out of me and I am not wealthy. there is clear evidence that the government doesnt take care of the poor.
They are all falling in a trap and here is a great quote from Norman Thomas that sums it all up for me.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.”
