On The Circle of Protection


Obama states that he believes “poverty is a moral issue.” He believes that as one moves up on the socioeconomic scale it is his or her job to help those below them move up as well. He wants everyone to work together to create a nation that helps anyone who needs it.

Romney appreciates all those people throughout America who have worked so selflessly to help those less fortunate than themselves. Romney believes American people will overall be benefitted by job creation. Providing jobs for the jobless will decrease the unemployment rate, increase economic growth and help distribute more wealth among those who previously did not have it.

The Church teaches that those who can help should. The most meaningful donations are not always monetary. The Church is against a socialist economy, or giving what a working American rightfully earns, and giving it to another who is deemed more needy. Everyone deserves to keep what he or she earns from working, but there is a moral obligation to give what one can to aid those who may not have the opportunity to make a living. President Obama talked a lot about solidarity throughout America and providing for those who cannot provide for themselves. Mitt Romney talked about job creation and the positive ramifications of not giving to those who need it but supplying them with an opportunity to make it themselves. Both have a great outlook on aiding the poor because obviously they both are eager to help. That eagerness is really what America needs to kick start a movement in everyone and realize that helping those who need it is beneficial to the greater good.
