Handing out money to those who refuse to EARN it has nothing to do with morality.

You wanna hand out money that has not been earned then the money that is earned loses value, basic economic principles.

Just because u "feel" good about it doesn't mean it won't have drastic repercussions.

Give your own money, but forcing others to is akin to slavery

You are still making a moral judgment about poor people.

You assume that being poor is an indication of laziness and therefore poor moral character.
Or that wealth is a natural result of having worked hard and an indication of good moral character.

Both are false premises.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

I made no reference to the poor or moral argument judging the less fortunate. You want to make this a moral vs immoral discussion. I am presenting the laws of nature and of natures God. Forced tribute in order to feed the masses results in less and less tribute and finally collapse.

As for my math sorry I'm at work and was ball parking the The figure. More of the same liberal tactic, we can't argue based on fundamental truths so we resort to critism in which the truth is presented.

Alittle Of Frank Capra's figurative realism would do you LIBS some good

Interesting assertion. If the expectation of entitlement to one's own property is a selfish one, what of the expectation of entitlement to the property of others?


Are we to assume that poverty is in fact virtuous and those afflicted by it are incapable of such moral failure?

If charity is virtuous and the lack thereof wicked, should not he who has no possessions instead offer up his labor freely?

Went from Comcast being bad and the desire for Net Neutrality, then it went off the rails faster than a speeding Ted Cruz Missile when someone failed to comprehend what NN even is.

Gawd, really.

NN was just an example given on government assuming regulatory control over an Industry. I rather not have to litigate the destructive implications of NN again. I'm sure if u search the forums u can find that conversation at nausem.

And with his last breath, he muttered. "A generation of fools." And thus Rome perished.
