The best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty...

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy (comfortable) in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves (slackers), and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." --Benjamin Franklin

Close the damn soup kitchens!

Objectively, justice is merely the succession of dominance.

Self-righteousness, collectivism and conformism, is the only objective injustice, as it is immediately contradictory to the succession of dominance, as motivated by individualism.

I agree with you A.... anybody takes the easy way I you give them the chance. But tiger brings a good point.... What would you do? Let them starve?.
Now, what I always said....is;
If an illegal, mother of two, with not even a high school diploma can make a living for her family, then, anybody can.

We cannot starve innocent children. Ever. Then, we would no longer be civilized.
