Should government help the poor?

>>2966363
Only to the extent of preventing full scale civil war. It should try its best to keep welfare to a minimum, because welfare is dysgenic.

Do people choose to be poor?

Do people genuinely decide to just give up and live under their means?

>>2966424
It's usually a combination of low intelligence and bad moral character.

>>2966424
Yes, they do

Also Autist Nicky should have too instead of defending Serb terrorists.

>>2966363
Yes. Theres no reason for the poor to exist in the abundance of today.

>>2966424
It's not a black and white issue. Some people choose.

>implying the nobles didn't orchestrate the farce

>>2966363
the poor should sort themselves out

Be careful what you wish for.

Yes.
People have basic rights to water/food/shelter/clothing.
The wealthy have a responsibility to their fellow humans.

Yes, because if we don't, they'll break shit and that costs more money than the handouts would.

Also, it's still easier to integrate poor natives into a society than rich foreigners.

>>2966363
Within reason

>>2966363
Only if the poor are willing to meet the government half way and do something to improve their own lot in life with the government's help.
Going to highschool in a major city I cant tell you how many black girl I knew that got pregnant multiple time in order to "git dem gobment money"

>>2966424
It's mostly a vicious cycle.
Be poor --> don't get educated --> less good job opportunities, more likely to do drugs and crime --> all these things keep you poor --> procreate a lot because you're stupid --> your kids are raised poor and ignorant by stupid parents (at best) --> rinse and repeat

>>2966637
spooky

>>2966676

Sterilization or at least mandatory birth control injects should be given to people on government handouts, but that would not fly with the religious right.

Since when has the government ever helped the poor?

>>2966363
It depends on the country.

The US is a consumer economy so yes, the government should help the poor so as to keep them buying things and spending above their means.

>>2966432
Most wealth is inherited.

>>2966684
It wouldn't fly by anybody because that idea is retarded.

>>2966701

t. doesn't understand economics

When poor decided to do something about the government.

>>2966715
mmm yes i do love it when middle class nerds start killing poor people and nuns because of their autistic larping

>>2966689
what a preposterous quote, democratic socialism has worked quite well in many countries

>>2966363
No

>>2966363
>be government
>have a steady stream of desperate and distrustful people
>think it's a good idea

>>2966620
they did until they also realized they should've helped the poor

>>2966705
Its not retarded. The single biggest predictor of whether or not a kid will become a criminal is if he is the son of a single mother.

>>2966363
It should give them the means to get out of poverty.

>should the spook be spooked to help the non-spook?

All answers except >>2966648 are pretty spooked

>>2966363
Yes, but with the understanding that only gainful employment can satisfy the human psychological need for self-esteem and creative self-expression. Just dumping money and material goods on people without consideration for their psychological needs is not very helpful.

>>2966635
what's wrong with the people having arms and bread?

>>2966363

Yes obviously

Helping the poor, as in, giving them education, making sure they stay healthy, policing their neighbourhoods and keeping them safe makes for a stronger, fitter, better educated and more peaceful population. With a larger social mobility, so the poor eventually become richer and thus enrich the state.
