| We will always have people in need of help and as long as this society continues to exist we will have people who need help. If we completely change our country where social programs will be unnecessary that would be fine. However, I don't think many people would want to go through that change lest they have to modify their "I got mine" mentality.
I love to hear the "haves" continuously complain about social programs and advocating private charities should bear that burden. After getting to know them fairly well I get the unmistakable impression these people would be the LAST ones to give one lousy dime to a charity.
But that's not everyone of course. For example, you have Bill Gates giving dozens of millions away on an almost daily basis. But OTOH I don't recall hearing about Donald Trump coughing up anything.
Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |
