I might get shit for this or not, idk

but,

I do believe we should be thinking of the "society", we should be thinking of the poor, the unfortunate and all the people that got rolled the bad dice or even made bad decisions.

I just don't think we should be doing this by forcing everyone to pay money, money they won't even know helped whom, and probably didn't even help anybody, except the ones closest to the printer.

I hope once we end the steal, we have enough people with enough money who do this stuff genuinely and not as a front. Maybe with enough proof of work we start getting the trust back.

I'd like to get back to soup kitchens not food stamps. Or build a city for the homeless and just send truckloads of food there and let them manage themselves...

We've got to try something else because the current system is not compassionate and is very wasteful.

I like soup kitchens, in India Sikhs and some Hindus have the concept of a "langar" which is like a free community made food for everyone. Those would be efforts I can appreciate.

Voluntary charity is god's work, Involuntary taxes are the devils tools.

Yes we should!

Voluntary and private charity is the way.

Every single law and regulation that stands in the way of such efforts need to go.
