The point is… drumroll please…
The government is not the proper way nor the effective way to help people.
There are legitimate charities out there that offer more than the government
possibly could. The government tries to solve problems by throwing money
at them. However there is usually more to a problem then just a lack of money.
A lot of people on welfare have a serious lack of responsibility. NOT ALL but a lot
of them do. Remember this old idiom? Give a man a fish you feed him for a day;
teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. The people need to be taught
to fish and not have one given to them. However ppl who really deserve it will have
no problems getting the help they need. I am all for helping people but not through
the government. If you give money to a charity, generally the money only goes to
help the people and keep up the organization so that it can help more people. In
the government’s case a lot of the money goes to bureaucracy and gets eaten in
the red tape. Let’s face it. Private charities can help more people with the same
amount of money. I have another old saying for you…
“The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the
people with their own money.” ~ Alexis de Tocqueville
I’m not sure why everyone hates the rich. We should look up to these people. MOST
of them made their own way to the top with hard work and sacrifice. They deserve
everything they earn. In fact, these are the people who provide you with jobs. Somebody
has to own the company you work for… Is it wrong that they realized the American Dream?
Isn’t that why we have millions of people attempting to immigrate to the United States every
year? The idea that people should pay more because they can afford more is preposterous.
In short… people who need help should and will be helped. However the government should
have no place in the matter. It should be in the hands of private charities where people who
are closer to the situation can make more accurate assessments of a person’s needs and
help the individual more effectively. The government is the worst “charity” on this earth and
it is time to start putting money into good charities that will actually help a person, not make
them dependent.
