Capitalism produces EVERYTHING Socialists/Communists/Democratic-Socialists wish to “redistribute.”
“How socialism destroys private charity and hurts the poor”
Socialism makes everyone poor....except the government elites.
I don’t give handouts to panhandlers that’s for sure. The government taxes me to take care of them. I donate only to local causes that don’t get money from the government. And never to United Way or Susan G Komen foundation.

We need less compassion and more responsibility.
In essence, Feudalism was a form of Socialism. The aristocracy allegedly takes care of the peasants, who are viewed as children who need to be guided and who work for their masters.

QUIT IMPORTING CHEAP, ILLEGAL LABOR.

4-If you think the purpose of gov't is to make life "fair" for everybody by penalizing hard work, ingenuity, and God given talent,
Then YOU ARE A TYRANT SEEKING TO DESTROY THIS COUNRY AND ALL PERSONAL FREEDOM!!
“At the time, poverty rates hovered around an embarrassing 19 percent, so Johnson promised to devote more resources to government assistance programs and various forms of welfare. Since then, taxpayers have spent around $22 trillion to fight poverty. What do we have to show for it? In recent decades, increased government spending has barely moved the needle when it comes to the poverty rate. It hovered around 15 percent in the 1980s, and has remained roughly the same ever since, even with trillions more spent to continue fighting...”
In response to Judas wanting to steal a gift to Christ under the guise of helping the poor, Jesus said, “The poor you have with you always.” (John 12:8)
Capitalism: Person “A” sees a panhandler and gives him $5 so said panhandler can eat.
Socialism: Person “A” is taxed $20 which is used to offset costs to include salaries and benefits of federal employees in the new “feed-the-homeless” program, after which, the remaining $0.50 is provided to the panhandler.
