Here's my take on poverty: too fucking bad. If we really want people to work together and end poverty, then maybe it's time for Democrats and the government to stop thinking that they're fucking Robin Hood. Don't touch my money, and maybe I'll donate it. Maybe not. It's my money that I earned, and too fucking bad if I or someone else decides to be greedy. Especially since the government doesn't do anything other than throw money at the problem. Maybe if people were forced to rely on each other instead of the government, it wouldn't be so hard for things to get done efficiently. If you always let people take the easy way out then they just become dependent, and then the nation just becomes a bunch of puppets for the government.

Another prime example of how throwing money at education doesn't help. Over the past few decades (and inflation factored in), schools are getting SEVERAL times more money per kid, yet there seems to be no positive results from that. This is what happens when you're not forced to rely on the community and each other. "The government needs to give us more money..." Yeah, THAT WORKS! Sarcasm

I'm a complete supporter of Social Darwinism. Let the strongest survive and strengthen the species. A herd of animals don't go rescue their old and diseased when being attacked by predators for a reason. Why should we be doing the same thing? After all, liberals tend to want to say that humans are just "smart animals". If that's the case, then let natural selection work on the human race.

I agree with you for the most part. However, the government of the United States still has a duty to protect the city of New Orleans. It's not as if the city was totally filled with impoverished people. There were quite a few who were well off.

Plus, New Orleans was a major tourism destination, especially with Mardi Gras, and those tourism dollars help fuel the economy. The government should have had the foresight to protect the tourist destination, in order to keep and attract investment, and to keep those tourism dollars coming.
