> What if we...i don't know, actually helped people!? This I support 100%. > paid for by the state/federal level This I can't. That's not "we" in any sense or form; that's other people's money taken away from them by violence or threat of violence. If you encourage people to help others (as we should!), then we should help people ourselves. Not delegate it to others, especially if they're not doing it voluntarily.

So in your worldview, all "helping" should happen voluntarily, with no state/federal assistance. And if no individual is feeling charitable that day, then no help would be provided?

  If we ever end up in a situation where nobody is feeling charitable then we are screwed as a society no matter what.

  If I was charitable yesterday, I would probably donate to an organisation that knows how not to spend it all in one day.

> If you encourage people to help others (as we should!), then we should help people ourselves. Not delegate it to others, especially if they're not doing it voluntarily. What if that reduces our policies, in every area, to zero effectiveness?

  Then it means it was below zero before.
