Giving the money of productive people to the poor will not solve the problem. What will solve the problem is ridding the world of marxism and trying to educate people that capitalism is the only system that will lift their countries into a sustainable standard of living.

Look at America's "War on Poverty." Spending trillions of dollars to give people housing and other benefits has not made them self-sufficient. A lot of the public housing has been torn down because the slobs who lived there would not take any responsibility for their housing or their own lives and they made their own neighborhoods uninhabitable.

Handing out stuff to people does not make them responsible for their own futures.

THE sickening champagne and caviar lifestyle being enjoyed by Earth Summit delegates was exposed yesterday.
They are gorging on mountains of lobster, oysters and fillet steak at the Johannesburg conference — aimed at ending FAMINE.

I wonder who is hungry?

Indeed, if people think the government is going to take the risks for them and shoot and scoot for them, people might as well shoot themselves in the head right now.
