“He became a Democrat because, in his words, “I began to think about real people, like my neighbors and people less lucky than me. Did I want those people to starve to death? I care about children, even poor ones.””

“He became a Democrat because, in his words, “I began to think about real people, like my neighbors and people less lucky than me. Did I want those people to starve to death? I care about children, even poor ones.””

But if there's a moral imperative that the government help those in need, why stop with neighbors, or fellow townspeople, or fellow Americans? Why not just give everything to everyone in need all over the world?

Most mature adults realize there should be limits and that there is no limit to what a "generous" government will give away. That's how we get to a $17 trillion debt.

Libertarians aren't against helping. They're against the state telling them who to help and with how much.
