Neither would I, but my own perspective has colored my view which is what I was trying to get across.

Are you actually from Albania, then?

I was born in Albania, and lived there until I was ten.
The question of helping the less fortunate especially immigrants is one that I too take to heart. However, my own experiences tell me that government should not be the one to take the lead. I am much more a believer in people being given the widest autonomy and proving to themselves that they don't need laws and public officials to make them help their fellow man. I guess therein lies my ideological qualm about socialism.
