Socialism as a personal philosophy is good, but as a government driven policy is bad.

People should help people, not governments take from people to help people.

And what evidence do you have to support this? What is the role of government but to help protect and serve people?

I agree that no one wants to be poor. But I will say that many times the reason poor people are poor are because of poor decisions. Either deciding that school is not a priority, or getting married/pregnant before they were ready, or bad money management. I think a lot of this could be solved by better parenting, but that is an obtainable goal as riding a city of homeless people. I agree though that there are people that are just down on their luck, and I do think that we should help these people. But I still hesitate to tax the rich to help the poor ( ... )
