Lazarus, I am the biggest capitalist you will ever find. I am not a
bleeding heart liberal, and socialism is the worst of all the isms.

BUT, some people fall through the cracks in the floor in our country.
They receive assistance (it is some times my job to check what and how
much assistance they get), but without the food given to them at the
various food pantries in the area, they would be hungry. Is their
cheating amongst them? Bet your bippy there is. But it is not my job
to punish them for their cheating. I believe they will some day reap
what they sow. But in the mean time, I have no qualms about helping
someone who needs a hand-out, who needs help getting past a bad period
in their life, who needs just a few groceries and a warm blanket to
stave off the cold while they are homeless. You would do the same if
you saw them.

Sorry Dave but that's socialist talk.

Are you a socialist or aren't you?

Are you American or aren't you?

That's not socialist talk. That is caring for your fellow man.

And Americans have been caring about their fellow man a helluva lot in
my 71 years on this earth. We have given trillions of dollars to
undeveloped nations (oooops, sorry, make that third world nations),
our men and women have given their lives in foreign lands fighting for
others.

Sad that you apparently believe that. The illegal war you started
contributed considerably to all your other problems. Even a
significant percentage of the money and resources wasted on that war,
and still being wasted as a result of it, would have solved many of
your problems with regard to your fellow citizens who are in dire
straits.

Many are still not clear that it was all about oil, and had nothing to
do with helping anybody at all.

The stupidity and arrogance of your leaders, and their willingness and
ability to manipulate you, along with your willingness to be
manipulated, or the inability to even perceive it, is what caused
your problems, and it will doubtless continue to do so.

Your problems will increase as your population increases, and there is
little doubt that your descendants will curse you.
