Quote by: Charlatan  Global poverty bill which would reduce the suffering of those in need? Well it sounds like a good idea at first, but what would that cost people? Very little, and it would alleviate lots of people's suffering, so it is a good idea, at first glance. But like I have said a lot of times, give a man food and he will live to see tommorow to seek food from you again, bearing children that do the same. It all stems from urbanisation, where people see the city as a way out of doing their daily things, and that leaves us with people who no longer take care in what they do as they know that there will be a aid wagon along shortly, and hence the 'poverty' grows. That is the problem, if they were all dead there would be no problem would there? So do you keep people in poverty or set them free? In time they may return to living the way they were before the poverty, hopefully. |
(1) That is easier for you to say because you will not be fronting the bill.
(2) Why not worry about the poverty here first
(3) Just like welfare this doesn't work. Its like treating a gun shot to the head with an aspirin!
