Poverty is a tricky problem for sure, but when it comes down to it the best social program will always be work. Helping people is very different from socialism and the great debate will always be where is the line drawn.
Well, capitalism has provided a lifestyle for the average person that is unattainable for about 80% of the rest of the world. Socialism has brought nothing but misery, poverty and death.
So it would seem obvious that if you want to help the poor you adopt more capitalist policies and fewer socialist policies.Of course if your real goal is personal power and gain so you can become another member of the nomenklatura then you rail against "the rich" and push for confiscating wealth.
So what policies does the capitalist want to institute to overcome all the social programs you want to get rid of??
JOBS JOBS JOBS. Hands up, not hands out. Social programs should be very short term at best. Personal responsibility. And btw. do you think hard working tax paying Americans should furnish Conyers and his ilk with Escalades with so many poor hungry people milling about? Doesn't that just look crappy to you?
