Why is the US the only country that can make a difference? WHy aren't some of the other countries in the world doing something? If this is such an important issue, why are they waiting for the US to take the lead and do something? Shouldn't they be doing something on their own?
Can somebody show me where in the Constitution it says we need to worry about feeding an ungreatful world? Why should we hand out food to a world who goes around bad mouthing us 24/7? Seems to me must of the world can't wait to see the US fall, I guess once were gone they will finally figure out how to feed themselves.
Here here!!!Maybe some of those rich hollywood types should share some of their wealth and quit volunteering mine.
Precisely...
The uber-left thinking of more wealth redistribution for popularity
'Oh... the other would like us and do nothing bad if we would just GIVE them more'.... utter hogwash
The leftists have no concept of personal responsibility at an individual scale, so why would they have it on a global scale???
And as for 'profiting off the misery of others'..... nice sloganeering... but it is nothing more than that... we have the FREEDOM (you see, because we will never come under the socialist/totalitarian control these uber-lefties want) to derive our profits, in our free market society, where our efforts are needed and where our goods can be bought

I always laugh when I see those commericals crying, "Won't you please give?" and the spokesperson looks like she just stuffed her face full of twinkies. Always makes me wonder how many people she could feed if she stopped the twinkie habit.
I'd suppose I give them some of my money, food, or other assistance.What would you have them do...

Wrong! You have the whole issue wrong!Precisely...

Silly extreme rhetoric. Of course the left understand personal responsibility. Yet, it also understands that there are severely mentally handicapped and physically handicapped people who will never be self-reliant. There are also those who temporarily fall on hard times through practically no foreseeable fault of their own.
What would you have them do if they know of no private charity and have no friends or family members willing to help them out? Lets remove all safety nets, on matter how close to the ground they may be. Remove every red cent from food stamps, WIC, assisted housing programs, temporary welfare programs, Medicare, Medicaid, and each and every tax supported help. Too bad. If someone falls on hard times, then it is just too bad. Get out of my way and go die in the street somewhere.
The issue is not whether or not to draw the line but where to draw the line.
Wrong! You have the whole issue wrong!
Look at Haiti. They have farms, they have agriculture. The produce is shipped out of the country to wealthy client states like America and England instead of being available as a cheap resource to the populace of Haiti. The wealthy classes there profit well from American investors and companies that tap those resources. The lower classes are starving. They cannot afford rice.
No one said anything about wealth redistribution. All I have said is that we do not need to step on the necks of the poor to gain a profit.
Money can still be made and we can allow poor people to of the regions we exploit to benefit from those resources. It's like ExxonMobil bragging about record high profits while we are fleeced at the pump and people of the Middle East are slaughtered.
...
They do.
Preachers strike me that way much more so.
Sure they do, that's why they fly around the globe in G5 airplanes and buy $5k bracelets for themselves and have more expensive toys then anyone else. If they really care that much, sell the extra house in Malibu, the condo in NY, the airplane, etc. Then I'll think they mean it.
Jackie Chan reportedly donated $100, 00 to Chrysalis, a Los Angeles-based charity fighting homelessness. He also donated $64, 000 to UNICEF to aid in the tsunami relief effort.
Celine Dion made a contribution of one million dollars to aid with the hurricane Katrina effort.
Nicholas Cage also gave away one million dollars to the Katrina effort.
Sandra Bullock shared one million dollars with the American Red Cross after Sept. 11th, and another million for aid in tsunami relief in December 2004.
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills donated 1.9 million dollars for aid after the tsunami, in addition to tirelessly advocating the Adopt-A-Landmine charity.
Steven Spielberg bestowed 1.5 million for the tsunami effort, and another 1.5 million for aid of hurricane Katrina.
Angelina Jolie has donated over $3 million of her personal wealth to United Nations Refugee Agency, in addition to being their goodwill ambassador since 2001. She and Brad Pitt reportedly recently funded a medical facility in the Sudan.
In 2001, Arnold Schwarzenegger evidently shared 15 percent of his entire income that year, totaling $4.1 million to various charities including the Nelson Mandela children's fund and the Twin Towers fund.
No list of generous celebrities is complete without mentioning Oprah Winfrey, reportedly having donated $52 million of her own money in 2005 only to various charities including her own and the Hurricane Katrina effort.
The majority of the leftist handouts do NOT go to only those who cannot take care of themselves... but those who WILL NOT take care of themselves or CHOOSE NOT TO take care of themselves....
Proof? Link?
Show me a link of PROOF then that the majority of welfare recipients are incapable of taking care of themselves. (see, that can go both ways Sparky) Meaning they are physically or mentally impaired to the point where they CANNOT do anything for themselves to earn a living.
The FACT is the that majority of recipients are quite capable but unwilling to take the personal responsibility or do what it takes. The lazy that feed the liberal power system that keeps the handouts coming.
