Government Help

It’s a terrible thought that someone might go hungry at night, or be left in the rain because they lack money. People are important no matter what their income. For a child to grow up without proper nutrition or clothing is a crime. I think every American believes that the poor are to be pitied, and helped.

So why don’t the American people help them? Instead of forcing government action, let the people do it themselves! Instead of forcing taxes on citizens, let them chose to give money to private organizations themselves! Instead of feeding the attitude of bitterness brought on by forced giving, encourage the people to support churches and other organizations freely!

By advocating government involvement, one underestimates the power of the American people. If we could all help each other of our own accord, it would make America stronger economically, more stable socially, and more upright morally. The answer here is not government aid. The answer is for each American to put his money, and actions, where his mouth is and build a stronger society, where the government doesn’t have to force the people to do what is right.
