I have watched you, repeatedly, talk down about any kind of governmental help, whether it's welfare or "ObamaCare". You've repeatedly talked down about people living on the "public dole".

Zion, which you know all Latter Day Saints are working to live for, would be a Utopian life where class distinctions mean nothing and we're all sharing what we have with one another so everyone has enough. Isn't this what you believe in? That one day you'll live in Zion?

You honestly are doing a disservice to us, other Mormons, with your continual badmouthing of the exact things your own Church believes in. Will you tell your Bishop he shouldn't send members who are in a financial bind to the Bishop's Storehouse for food and necessities? Or how about a member who has lost their job and goes to his or her Bishop for help with their bills? Do you think they're using the system? Do you talk down about them behind their backs? Are they just too lazy to do their work?

I'm sorry, mods, you can delete if you want, but these are honest questions I'd like answered (not that I'll get an answer).
