We need to take on the absurd canard that helping people will weaken them, make them dependent or disincentivize them. I’ve thought a lot about what’s given me whatever success I’ve had & I’ve realized main 3 things: 1) someone helped me 2) someone helped me 3) someone helped me.

Short term financial help from the government is a hand up. I fully support this. A hand out is when generation after generation rely on the government with no change in circumstance.

And that somehow helping others is a bad thing.

Can’t have civilization without people helping each other. Nobody truly succeeds on their own.

They are just trying to use the stray cat analogy: once you feed it, you have it for life. Such bullshit!

People helping people: yes Government taking money from one group and giving it to another in the name of help: no Whatever you tax you get less of, whatever you subsidize you get more of.

You know, you pretty much nailed it going through the history of this country. When MLK was killed, he was organizing a multi racial march of the poor. Some "coincidence", eh? Then years later, they come up with the trickle down bs. It's only gotten worse with Citizens United.
