The idea of helping the poor, or supporting those who are disabled, is noble. The idea of organizing a welfare state so that the organizers can steal some of the money for themselves even though they give other money to the poor, is criminal.
People are generally compassionate. They will help others who are in need. For those who are in need but haven't been reached by the compassionate, let the organizers request donations rather than creating a welfare state. Some people will always donate.
Removal of the welfare state will get the welfare recipients who don't really need welfare, up off their behinds, and out there working for a living. All the rest of us will get to keep more of what we work for. We will spend some of it on things that we want and need. More jobs will be created. Prosperity will abound.
The welfare state is destroying us.
you say people are compassionate? then why is 40% of the worlds wealth dominated by the 1%
As the government and taxes grow bigger, the inequality grows bigger to the point where we are now where some have a lot and no risk of losing it in the current state of affair while other have not chance of making it. So big government and big taxes are increasing inequality and hurting the poor.
If people were paying less taxes, they would have more money to give away and would give away more
isn't big government an inevitable result of technological advancement? as technology increases so does technological unemployment. i see a future when we are all government stipends. srs
Big government is inevitable when the people are disarmed, or when the people are ignorant of the dangers of big government.
