Foundations of My Politics

For those wondering, the foundations of my political opinions begin here: 

"What best benefits those in need and those abused or misused by our systems or society (or even other countries -- refugees, invaded countries, etc.)? And what rights might need to be seen in a new light to make the promises of the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness more equitable for all (not equal but equitable and accessible)?" 

 Not here: 

"What does my (me, me, me) wallet feel like right now?"  

As a person of Christian faith, that's just the way I see and understand Jesus, and if I'm to be a "little Christ" then I should want to strive to be like him. 

 My Bible says to die to self and to love and serve others -- even my enemies -- and even those who take advantage of that kindness (and go the extra mile and hand over my coat as well - Mt. 5:40-41). 

 Again, NOT A SLAM ON ANYONE ELSE, just explaining where my views are founded.
