Our Obligation.

[AVG-JOE]

The obligation of We, The People to care for the truly incapable and the lazy.

Do The People at large have an obligation to care for those who can't or won't care for themselves?
​

Yes. Absolutely not.
Those are 2 VERY different situations.

Agreed.

But it might have a negative effect on tourism if we just leave the the lazy beg in the streets, eh?

We should have the folks who can't get a doctor's note plea their case on YouTube and let their peers decide what their disability is worth on a monthly stipend.

 

[AVG-JOE]

The obligation of We, The People to care for the truly incapable and the lazy.

Do The People at large have an obligation to care for those who can't or won't care for themselves?
​

We have a humane obligation to the disabled, the elderly, the VETS, the handicapped, children, the homeless, the poor and needy, the less fortunate, and in some cases, the unemployed. We are a civil and humane people that takes care of our fellow man. We have homeless families that include small children, we have disabled VETS, we have elderly that can't take care of themselves, we have many disabled and those with other severe handicaps. We can't just turn our backs to them and let them starve to death, eat out of trash cans and dumpsters, and go without medical attention when needed. Yes, we are obligated. We're not a heartless and barbaric people.

Also, we have to consider mental conditions that prevent some from being productive members of society. And, we have those that simply have a very low IQ that can't be self-supporting. There are many reasons why people need help. Everyone is not blessed the same, nor afforded the same opportunities in life. Civilized man does not abandon his own.

There is also the lesson of the French Revolution. If a government allows too many people to go hungry and acts as if it does not care the elite may find themselves trying to be rich and powerful without their heads.

How'd that work out for them?

You really have no clue, do you?

That's what I thought

As I recall, The French Revolution is generally considered to be one of the first Liberal success stories, with The American Revolution and The United States Constitution rounding out the top three.

My humble opinion: Nothing has done more for the middle class of planet Earth than those three events.

 

[Darkwind]

Anyone who thinks he has an obligation to help homeless and disabled people is free to send money to homeless and disabled people.
Libs love to proclaim their moral superiority by pushing for other people to pay for their moral choices.

What about disabled VETS, the elderly, homeless children, the handicapped, and those with some type of disability aside from our VETS?

They will apprecviate your contributions too.

I'm sure they will. And, I don't mind helping them. It's the humane thing to do. I have a heart.

You're a fine American. Be sure to post how much you sent and to whom you sent it.

Why should I post that information? What difference would it make if I did post it? Does it really matter? Besides, I pay my taxes, which also helps through government sponsored assistance programs. Basically, we all pay through our taxes. No shame in that. We're a civil and humane people.

The problem is, it is neither civil, nor humane. Compassion is not measured by how much money is thrown at a problem.

But it takes money to help them. And, I totally disagree. In my opinion, it is civil and humane.

No, it doesn't. Self esteem is earned, not given and help comes in hundreds of forms other than money.

What people need is independence from government. They need the dignity of self sustaining themselves. There is nothing more compassionate than giving someone an opportunity to be self sufficient.

People have hard times, there is no doubt about that. However, fostering dependence upon government is not compassion.

If you really feel a need to help, then help by giving them training. Help by placing them in infrastructure jobs while they take their monetary aid. Have them do border work. Teach them how to maintain a park. The list is literally, thousands of possibilities long.

People need to learn what true compassion really is.

We know what progressive compassion is, and we can ill afford any more of it.

Obviously we disagree on this issue. There are so many people that can't help themselves. Many are children. Many are elderly. Many are disabled VETS. Many have severe handicaps. It takes money, and people helping people. We are not an animalistic and barbaric people. We'll agree to disagree on this issue. I stand by everything that I've said, and will not change my mind. I have a heart for those less fortunate. I understand what being helpless and dependent is.

 

[The Rabbi]

The Preamble to the Constitution has no meaning in law.

While it has been referenced on occasion, it is only when an Amendment is cited by the SCOTUS for its ruling.

The Preamble is meaningless drivel used to explain the reason for the document and only morons cite it.

Which is almost exclusively libturds

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States

OK, is there ANYTHING that government cannot do that might "promote the general welfare"?

Bullshit.
While there are some people legitimately who cannot work that is not the vast majority fo thsoe receiving assistance. The vast majority are capable of doing jobs. Of course with the cost to employ people being sky high they arent likely to get any.

Yes, we do disagree. I happen to think it is barbaric to deliberately foster dependence in a society. When nearly 40% of a society will starve to death without some form of aid from a government, clearly that society is enslaved. For if they do not continue on paying the dealer, they die.

Nothing is more barbaric.

As for VETS, helpless children, and the disabled...that is the ONLY obligation that society has to others through the use of government.

The problem is.......people don't stop at that.

As I said. This country can ill afford anymore compassion from the progressives.

The French revolution wrote the language of anti-monarchy revolution for the western world. We did it first but the philosophy of revolution did not become part of our national identity as it still is in France.

I'd love to see those numbers. Would you happen to have them handy? So, of all the people, including children, that need help, most are able to help themselves? Please provide those numbers and data, if you don't mind. Since you claim it's "Bullshit", I'm sure that you have all the facts and figures to support that claim. Looking forward to the numbers.
