By looking at the actual RESULTS of that "help" objectively. For instance, since we began spending other people's money on the so called 'great society', whose idea was to end poverty, the rate of poverty has actually increased. In the decades before spending began, the rate of poverty was dropping precipitously. You caused it to go in the opposite direction! But hey, what's tens of trillions of dollars among friends, right? And who cares if you meddlers made the situation worse, it's the intention that counts, right?
And sorry, you don't get to determine what is and what is not "civilized".
So, I ask again, what exactly is it that you find creepy about the notion of personal responsibility and the promise to not accept charity that is forced from strangers? Be specific now...
The problem with your argument is that spending to help poor people increased poverty.
Nope. Actually, yes. Only a fool would deny the OBVIOUS trend in the rate of poverty: Heading down before the Great Society, leveled off when the spending began, $22 trillion later, it's WORSE.
What increased poverty was that the wealthy Bullshit. You cannot show where any wealthy people took money from the poor and made them poorer. Pathetic, the 1%ers dismantled the unions Bullshit again. People VOLUNTARILY dropped union membership. That's not on anyone but those that made that CHOICE that allowed people to get out of poverty with jobs that paid fair wages. They sent the good paying jobs overseas Because of your burdensome regulations...well done dumbshit, they replaced people with machines Which has ALWAYS been the trend since the beginning of time. and all those fucking poor people who couldn't get jobs as good as their parents just fucking refused to dutifully starve to death Thanks Captain Hyperbole.
You guys complain about the layabouts who wait for their government checks to arrive, but the fact is, 40% of households that get SNAP benefits have at least one person with a job.
And then you wonder why people vote for democrats. I don't wonder because I understand when you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on the support of Paul.
Fail, fail, fail.
