that is exactly what government is for.
Its for leading human society in a direction more benificial to the people in the country in which the government is made.
There is NO geeo reason to insist government stay out of this.
The federal government exists to defend us from attack, fix the roads, supply a court system and deliver the mail.
Any other use for it is a travesty.
We probably need to make changes to the constitution to end the federal road fixing and mail delivery. Private enterprise can do it much better.
There is nothing the government can do that intelligent people of good will cannot do better.
I honestly believe that many liberals have the best interests of the people at heart. Unfortunately, using the force of government to impose their will on the people is no solution. Government, by its very nature, is a corrupt institution. We should feed it as little as possible.
Should we care for homeless children? I believe we should.
Should we further expand the role of government to do it? Hell no.
If state or smaller governments want to provide shelter for the homeless, they can certainly do it.
