This argument makes more sense against capitalism than against this.
- codedokode 3y agoAs the amount of money is limited it is important to set priorities. If you have extra money to give away then it is better to give them to parents to promote creating families, to pay for education for children from poor families, to improve free medicine, to create new jobs etc. It doesn't make sense to give money to people who are just lazy and got used to spending their parents' money instead of working. They will just spend money on alcohol, cigarettes or online games.
