who cares if charity doesnt work. There has to be some people at the bottom of the food chain.reply - das 2012/06/16 12:17:30MaybeI think it wouldn't work in the beginning. I doubt that people will make responsible and sustainable enough decisions in how to donate their money. In the long term it has to work, because people need to develop more responsibility for their actions anyway.reply
- TheTruth1313 2012/06/04 07:01:06AgreeI've been in favor of this for quite a long time.reply

- Striker 2012/06/04 02:30:31AgreeBUT, after government has already stolen most of your spare change, where's the $$ to private charity?reply

- Gordon 2012/06/03 23:01:59Agree+1People who want to assist others with money, housing, etc. should do it themselves rather than use taxation to force working people to support some people who might not be deserving of help. My family resents supporting sexually loose single women with out-of-wedlock children. We don't cotton to supporting drug users, child abusers, rapists, etc.reply

- sbtbill merlin 2012/06/03 23:22:58+1Reagan replaced a lot of welfare with government and state contractors. It worked pretty good.reply
- betz 2012/06/03 20:59:25MaybeHmmmm.....interesting thought. But who would be in charge of the money? the government? Hmmm....not such a great thought.reply
- Jayfeather 2012/06/03 20:38:55DisagreeIt's simply not enough to feed every hungry mouth in America. Charity doesn't work as good as it used to because people are less charitable.reply
- mk, Smartass Oracle 2012/06/03 19:47:46Agree+1Great ideareply
- wtw 2012/06/03 18:55:55Agree+2That is where charity belongs but the libs want government to do it so they don't have to get there hands dirty and they don't have to really give!reply
- wtxwoman 2012/06/03 18:10:46Disagree+1Private charity makes you jump through hoops to get help and it's never reliable. The government should revamp Welfare and limit the amount of time a person can be on it. They need to limit the number of children they will help with, give a woman the option of sterization. I can see someone making one or two mistakes, but six or eight, no. Women using Welfare as a way of life should be stopped NOW.reply

- Razoreye001 2012/06/03 10:29:12Disagreethere isn't enough people to invest in private charities and most private institutions are hardly equipped to do the government's job.reply

- Razorey... Sparky 2012/06/03 17:14:32As a utilitarian I believe it is the job of the government to ensure that each individual has the most basic quality of life one can be happy with or in other words "the greatest quality of life for the greatest number of people".reply

- Razorey... Jon 2012/06/03 20:53:47not really Utilitarianism predates Socialism so they can't be connected.reply
- Jon Razorey... 2012/06/03 18:47:48+1Absurd. private charity money outweighs ANY government's money by many fold. Remember, governments get their money FROM THE PEOPLE!reply
- Razorey... Jon 2012/06/03 20:55:35yeah but private charities don't have room for anything other than profits or if their nonprofit they cant function without government intervention. The government is the best equipped entity for the job.reply
