It's worth a try!

Money for bombs & bullets, but not for decent housing and jobs.

Money for corporate & bank bailouts, but NOT for free education for our youth.

Money for Congress to vote themselves salary raises, but barely enough for decent medical care for the working poor.

C'mon people, it's not hard! Learn to share and be nice to each other!

You learned that in kindergarten, you were taught that on the playground.

it's even in your religious scriptures!

If you could do it as a child, you can do it as an adult.

It's like learning to walk, talk, feed yourself and use the toilet.

Once you learn, you never forget.

[Taichiliberal]

That's nice....doesn't change the OP's valid message one iota.

Nope, I want MORE PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED IN THEIR GOVERNMENT AND DO THE RIGHT THING!

It asks the correct question though...

That's not what I said. You can read can't you?

And that would be.... Maybe putting government on a very short leash and taking personal responsibility for their own welfare rather than relying on a paternalistic welfare state run by an uncaring and unseen bureaucratic entity?

Naive libertarianism. If you hate society go live away from civilization.

Civilization doesn't require a welfare state run by the government.

What do you mean by welfare state, then?

welfare state
[ˈwelfe(ə)r ˌstāt]
NOUN

a system whereby the government undertakes to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially those in financial or social need, by means of grants, pensions, and other benefits.

I would add, ...deserved or undeserved.

Another way of putting it is that the government does for you what you should be doing for yourself.

You should hire your own security team if your house gets robbed? Is that what you mean?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

you have millionaires and billionaires in hollywood and big business, most of whom support democrats and their policies, so why don't they pitch in and share? they have way more than they need, don't they?

 

[NiftyNiblick]

Sounds great, Taich.

What species are you talking about?

The politicians aren't overpaid, especially compared to jobs of comparable responsibility in the private sector.
They just represent two countries trying to share the same government.
The greatest public servants in human history couldn't get anything done in our system.

Charity?



Point to a time in human kind when charity solved these societal problems



Here’s a clue


The answer is NEVER

People often do. What do you think companies like ADT do?

Other people, particular the poor rely on an age old friend

When your house gets robbed, what do the police do exactly? Is it that they come afterwards, take a report, tell you to contact your insurance company, then leave and you never hear from them again?
