Welfare is not a legitimate function of government. All cases of "need" should be handled by charitable organizations. That way, only people who WANT to contribute have their money taken away.

Everyone just seems so against helping anyone. If there is natural disaster and all the food crops were wiped out in north america would you not want other countries to help if they could? Or would you be to proud to eat some hand out and rather die? If you currently lived in a country, that you were born to, with no way of helping yourself, no land worth farming. no way to pay for schooling and if it was available. I would hope that we could help people that happen to be less fortunate. But i guess not, more burgers for us i guess. sorry for post, but peope are just to easy to dismiss something that they have never felt. Sure some of you have been poor, shit housing, ..etc but atleast you could get food stamps and walk to your local store, and come back and live in your government paid for house. But some people don't have that option as there are no programs, those are the people i refer to in my statement.

I'm having trouble coming up with a country that would hep us under those circumstances. Maybe Britain, but that's all I can think of.
That sure puts all of our foreign aid in perspective.
