“We’re doing a job that the state should be doing.”
Agree?”
No, charity is not the role of the state. Charity should be private.
When you delegate compassion to the state you end up with fraud, abuse, a sense of entitlement, destruction of personal responsibility, etc... it’s a cancer to civil society. And we’re living it... and dying from it.
Most of the “compassion” ends up as fat salaries to executives of “non profits”.
The big “non profits” can also hire high priced attorneys/lobbyists to keep the gravy train going...with bribes as well as propaganda of various kinds.
Meanwhile there is no “compassion” for the taxpayers who are getting scammed.
