If Christ asked you today why you didn't help your fellow man what would you say? Do you think he would agree with free enterprise when health was involved? When I hear that education, social services, and health care are NOT RIGHTS but luxury, it makes me sick. I never once said that the anyone at the General Conference said that socialism is a good thing. Why would they? I just feel that we as a group should help one another. Why shouldn't we? It shouldn't be a charitable cause every time someone in your area gets an illness they cannot afford. I mean quite a bit of LDS members were part of the Socialist Party back in the early 1900's. They knew, just like I want to believe, that every man should be taken care of regardless of social class or ethnic background.

With the Right vs Left issues starting to heat up in this country, one question has been on my mind: Does the church have a plan if all hell were to break loose? Does anyone know if the church has a position on health care? I am a lower class individual here in Utah, born and raised, and the images and articles I read online/newspapers/magazines/books and watch on TV are becoming disturbing. We hate the healthcare reform; we don't hate the health care reform; people are dying because they ar uninsured; people are taking care of themselves and that's good enough. I am disturbed that I live in a state that is now trying to stop all health care reform in its tracks. How can we live in a Nation blessed by god and yet when someone falls ill we say this, 'It's all about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.' It was my fault I got cancer. It was my fault my son became ill with the flu. It's our fault that tumors grow. It's our fault. I can't stand to live in a state and nation that is revolved around such hypocrisy. How can we be a state founded by an LDS Socialism to help and to take care of your fellow man and yet when the government NOW steps in and tries to help we scoff and begin to feel panicked. We want none of this! It's sad to say but in this country we can neither be born or die with out paying a large amount of money. Nothing is free. Even things we can't control come with a price tag. I for one would love to go back to an original order. Back when this great religion was just starting out where people used the resources they lived by for the greater good of the people. THAT is socialism! That is socialism with a LDS mindset. I am posting because I am concerned for my state and my country. I see the writing on the wall and it isn't pleasant. I want to start a new group, political, that takes the best of our LDS Socialist mindset and creates a better state than the others. I want my children's children to look back and say they changed things. They knew that education, social services, health care, and others ARE RIGHTS AMONG MEN that shall NOT be denied through greed or CAPITALISM. I want to create a better world here in Utah and set the example for all to follow. I want to HELP. Now I know I may get a lot of people against this but I hope you look at this with an open heart. I want you to look back and remember why the church is one of the best in the world because we care. I would also like to mention that I am NOT an LDS member nor have I ever been but I have been touched by the history and the accomplishments of the church and am very proud to call them my brethren. Thanks!
