It's immoral to refuse to feed a hungry child. It's immoral to withhold from people basic tools they need in order to better themselves. It's immoral to give to the rich at the expense of the poor. Some things are not morally relative; they're simply the wrong thing to do.

No amount of private charity can compensate for a basic lack of social justice.

No. Those kids are citizens too, just like you and I are. Do you drive on roads? Govt. paid for it. Have you ever called 911 or the fire dept? Govt. paid for it. Did you go to public school? Govt paid for it. What makes you or I more worthy than a poor child?

No, I'm not. I'm simply saying that everything you just said is as true of some rich people in America as it is true of some poor. The difference is that in the case of the rich, our govt. now says "Okay, here, take it."

I'm proud to pay my taxes. Every patriotic American should feel that way. I just wish they were spent in more noble ways.

NOOOO, we absolutely can provide affordable healthcare and livable wages to our own people. WE DO NOT CHOOSE TO. Huge difference.
We don't have to become a socialist nation; we could just be a fairer one. With universal healthcare (like every other advanced democracy), & free tuition at a community college or tech school, more people would have a chance at getting into the game. Too many are now locked out.
