Do liberals really care about the poor?

I've lived that meme and know that it is true.

Sure you have, Toots.

Hillary was dead broke when she left the White House, too, right?

Just don't get it by stealing and using your wealth to take it from the rest of us. The Dems don't want everyone to get the same. They just don't want the powerless to be treated as the Repubs would like.

Hilarious.

How do I help the poor? I work and contribute to society. My work is something that makes an obvious and directly positive contribution to society, unlike some business endeavors whose impact can be rather questionable whether it is really of any beneficial service or not; or others which are unquestionably oppressive. I pay taxes. That supports the poor, right there. I advocate for spending tax money to help the poor. I have given money to beggars. I have personally donated to and raised over ten thousand dollars for Meals on Wheels, which helps shut-in seniors. Ya know, it's tough when you work your whole life and save, and outlive your whole family and everybody you ever knew, and inflation renders your savings moot. Sometimes, that Meals on Wheels volunteer who shows up at the door bringing a nutritious hot meal, is the only live human face that old person will see all day long. I have volunteered at a local church holiday toy drive, even though I am an atheist. (I didn't tell them, and nobody asked.) I have donated to a local church poverty assistance program, even though I am an atheist, because that money goes directly to helping those who need it. I regularly donate to a local 'Santa's Helper' toy drive for disadvantaged kids. If I go to a restaurant, I tip well. If I go hear live music, I tip the musicians. I contact my representatives to make sure they understand everything I advocate for.

Post evidence that supports these self-aggrandizing claims.

If you refuse, how can anyone assign any credibility to your boasting?

I refuse to shop at Walmart or Amazon, because those institutions perpetuate poverty. I advocate for taking good care of the environment, and for stronger regulation on worker rights (low wage workers' safety concerns are routinely disregarded.) I advocate for doing something about Climate Change. The poor are on the front lines of the impacts of climate change. I advocate for stronger regulations and better enforcement of pollution regulations. The poor are often forced to live in dangerous polluted areas next to industry. I advocate for taxing the rich more to pay for socialized government assistance programs for the needy because is is the right thing to do. I advocate for universal health care because not everybody is rich enough to afford the luxury for-profit care that makes executives super-rich while excluding care to those who cannot afford the high prices. I advocate for a higher minimum wage. I advocate for public transportation, sometimes the only option for the poor.

So you say. Your claims are debatable, and based on opinions that are contested.

You've shown no evidence to support your alleged positions, and no proof that you've helped anyone.
