But Rev. Ike did say one thing that means more and more as we all suffer through the Obama years...
“The best way to help the poor is not to become one of them.”
Yes, and others have said that too. They do hvae a point. If we’re all poor, then nobody will be in a position to help. I’ve never gotten a job or any kind of help from a poor person; they simply can’t afford it. The wealthy can.
Pursuing your self-interest, including your material self-interst, serves society. “Each best serves otehrs by serving himself,” as Dr. Leonard Read put it.
