Relying on private charity has not worked since before the Great Depression and it did not work then
Private charity is inherently inefficient since it must expend a large percent of its contributions to generate more contributions. It is also incapable of handling massive loss like we saw in Hurricane Sandy
YES...we do need government charity
Inefficient?? No.. You look at many a charity and they are highly efficient.. it is the government that is inefficient
No... we do not need government charity.. and if you feel it is needed, go right ahead with a constitutional amendment to make the government empowered to be a charity, which it is not now... even though that power was grabbed by them for the sake of power long ago
The government is highly efficient. The tax system and disbursal system has very low overhead. Every dollar a charity spends seeking contributions is one less dollar available to the needy
Explain how private charities would handle the devastation of Hurricane Sandy?
Providing for the General Welfare is already in the Constitution
God forbid them to advertise. Hate it when people know they exist
