Radar.....al charity was once voluntary. There was a time when nobody was given help or assistance by the government. The trouble was that people starved. People went without homes and children went without education. Workers were treated with disdain by their employers because they were able to, after all who would rock the boat with their employer when the result could and would be unemployment and with it starvation?
America didnt always have public education but that meant lots of children never recieved basic schooling. All these social welfare and social provisions were introduced against the wishes of business and the moneyed classes as a response to appalling poverty and distress........remove those provisions and the poverty and distress willl return. People are often charitable but people are often not. If social provsions are a matter of choice what happens if people choose not to support them? Simple, a large number of American citizens will live lives akin to those of the third world.

Oh good God, if you are the centre I really dont want to know what the right looks like on your political scale. I had you down as a rightwing libertarian. In the UK thats what you'd be classed as with your belief system ( I think, just going off what you have said in the cellar) ....I keep forgetting that you guys have a slightly different political spectrum than ours
