If you truly care about the poor, then show them paths to prosperity, not welfare checks. Do not give them a system that will entrap them to be forever poor. I know one thing, and that is, the poor people cannot help the other poor. It's the rich who create jobs for the poor. The government is supposed to provide only security and services to the people.
Socialism is the dawn of Communism. Socialism is based on the principle of redistribution of wealth (Obama doctrin), which is dastardly detrimental to a society and the nation, as a whole. What this idea of artificial redistribution of wealth means is that you take away part of the income from very successful people and reward others who did not earn. I heard a very interesting story on last Friday from a therapist at our department. While he was treating a an woman patient - she started to talk about her family. The therapist asked - what do you do? The patient said - "why will I work? I never worked in my life; my mother never worked in her life; the government is supposed to take care of us." Obviously, this poor woman is living on the welfare checks all her life. This is an extreme situation, but this type of extreme situations will multiply under socialist system, and the entire society could become a welfare society, and the state could become a
welfare state.
My transformation has not lessened my caring for the poor. It brings me to a story I read in my childhood. One night, a thief entered into the house of Muhammad Muhasin. Muhasin woke-up and caught the thief. The thief said, I have nothing to feed my starving children; I need money to buy food for them. Muhasin was moved by his story. He gave him five dollar and told him to by an Axe, not food. The thief surprisingly asked - how the Axe will relieve my family's hunger? Muhasin said - go to the forest, cut some woods and sell them in the market as fuel for the wood burning stoves. So he did. Soon his entire family joined him, and they never had to steal again. I believe in this kind of permanent solution for the poor. I want prosperous jobs for the poor, not welfare checks. This solution can only be provided by a strong capitalist system.
Thanks.
