I'm not sure that any solution other than charity is out there, and that is not a bad solution. The trouble is, people have been taught not to be charitable because that is government's job. Just ask Joe Biden or look at his tax returns. Be like Joe? I think there is a better way - charity.

[Lexinom]

A strange, strange paradox, that... A socialist society that vaunts the virtue of charity is populated inevitably by uncharitable people... In a conservative society whose denizens are lambasted for their purported lack of charity the latter flourishes.

Is there not a parallel also with giving patterns of politicians broken by party?
