Thanks for more enlightened debate. There's some half truths to unpack.
This Contains points that have the wrong premise. The fact is that all the trillions of dollars of help...hasn’t helped. So to start it of as “help” is intellectually and statistically dishonest.
Social insurance programs such as social security have indeed reduced poverty. Modern medicine has decades worth of public investment that have increased life expediencies to decades longer than just a century ago. To say that collective social programs and funding hasn't helped is just completely false.
Things are worse...isn’t that what the media says?
No, the media doesn't give an opinion on the "state" of society as compared to the past. It merely reports stories with the highest amounts of sensationalism. Sensationalism is more profitable than honest reporting.
To help someone that has gone into agreement that they are a victim actually perpetuates being a victim.
This is a strawman argument. Victimhood and poverty have nothing to do with each other. People receiving assistance don't sign some contract declaring themselves victims.
You actually seal their fate. This is why feelers should never be in charge of anything. Poverty does not exist in America. Americans have fat a$$es. I’ve seen poverty in the real world. If you have a phone, you’re not impoverished.
This is just plain wrong. Poverty is lack of money / access to sufficient resources. America has too much poverty for its amount of wealth.
Destruction in the name of “help” is rather sinister in itself. If you don’t help them find purpose you only lessen others ability to survive by stealing their money to seal a victims fate and thus it’s circular.
I never manage by feelings. I mange by accurate statistics. Do-gooders are actually about themselves. It’s about them.
Feelings are irrelevant. Social planning is an exercise in morality. Competing ideology either chooses to help the most vulnerable (the "left") or that the most vulnerable don't deserve help (the "right"). You obviously fall in the latter camp. I'm in the former. Neither tent determines if one is apex or not.
