When it's politically convenient, that's WHEN!

When Capitalism was born.

When the helpers decide they know better what helps than those they are helping, and then use unhelpful means to effect their idea of help.

Right? Corporations and Wall Street are continuously bailed out with taxpayer money. And nobody blinks an eye. When the American working people are hurting (due to no fault of their own) suddenly it's a handout?

When Government got big. Can't help the homeless at all without permits and licenses. If you make a mistake with drugs, no rehab, straight to jail. Giving hitchhikers a ride? That's illegal in some places too. You can do all this, of course, if you don't get caught.

When “helping others” is not voluntary, it’s coercion.

Helping others is helping ourselves. At this point our senses seem overwhelmed with the injustice of poverty. Our Earth is in hospice but there is compassion in chaos.
When did helping people who need help become a bad thing? When they looked at people and couldn't see themselves.
