Handouts Aren’t Charity
The lamestream media told you:
“When the federal government hands out billions of dollars to fund programs that assist the country’s neediest residents, Phoenix gets the short end of the stick,” according to reporter Monica Dunsmoor recently.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
“When the federal government forces billions of dollars from the public through taxation, then gives it to other people, it violates every principle of the Constitution and the American Way, yet none of the perpetrators are arrested, and instead of sounding an alarm, mainstream reporters like this call for more “funding.”
Charity is a private affair. And it’s only charity if it’s voluntary. The Constitution does not contemplate giving the treasury to any selected segment of the population, as this reporter craves.
Reporters act as if welfare helps, but taking from those who earn money and giving it to those who do not will never end poverty. Wealth redistribution is a proven failure — the socialist opposite of the American Dream that created the prosperity in the first place. It creates hopeless dependency. When the money runs out, Dunsmoor’s economics says take more, forever.
Instead, reduce taxes by the amount “stolen for charity.” That economic impact would alleviate more poverty than any theft-and-redistribution program misguided do-gooders can invent.
We should indict a few of the scoundrels to chill other public thieves, and editors promoting socialism should rethink their values and hiring guidelines.
