ORIGINAL: bounty44 the short answer is: "if a man will not work, he shall not eat" if he cannot work, then the question is who's responsible to help feed him. some will say the government. others will say the man's family, friends, the church and the local charities and lastly, LOCAL government. the latter is far more successful and ultimately, more humanizing. Speaking of charities, some while ago I had a charity appeal for starving children in my inbox. The usual terrible pictures of children looking really neglected. American children. Just astonishing. Too much irony in that email for my head to deal with. If the children are starving in the US it's because parents are trading foodstamps for drugs. Can you explain that to the children of deadbeat dads that have just disappeared? Or the families where the father . . . or mother . . . is deceased, and the remaining spouse can't get a job that pays enough for childcare AND food, AND shelter, AND medical . . . AND . . .? If they qualify for help in this country, they get it. If the kids teachers suspect neglect, they report it, and dss gets involved. There is only so much that you can do.
