How Not To Help The Poor

[fo13ulous]

I don't see anything wrong with this video. They don't really send a religious message, they're saying that bureaucratic decisions induce more poverty.

shame on you people who are quick to judge.

[Borderlands808]

I used to b poor.....then I took an arrow to the knee.

[Henkera]

Nothing moral about this message, sneaky bastards.

[TheProudIslamist]

What a load of right-wing nonsense. Since 1970, the bottom decile have been working more hours for less real wages, while the top decile have been working fewer for more. Income gaps are the problem, not some quasi-religious sociological balderdash about the state cuckolding the man.

[slotjocko]

@TheProudIslamist

Wow, you must be a genius. Mensa probably. What an empty load of horse crap. Amazing that you are able to identify the problem, like no other, and reduce it to one binary equation. Bully for you, you embreonic hairball. I'm in the top 1% of wage earners and I'm fairly certain you have no idea what you're talking about. But...have at it, and continue your nonsense. Surely there is someone out there that will subscribe.

The question is not do we have the money, but the question is do we have the resources to help the poor

This film provides the solutions watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w

[sadsismint]

booooo!!! hisss!!! didnt know it was going to be some religious bollocks.

[3ssay]

Wow, so not helping the poor is how we help the poor? How convenient! Now I feel no obligation to go out and help people because I know by not giving a shit, I'm giving them better odds at living a better life.

After all, it like Jesus said: "The meek shale inherit the earth once we cut off welfare programs and force them to get off their asses and get fucking a job."

[synchronium24]

@3ssay DAMZ! Caustic humor FTW

[trainboy1231]

love the whole series

[RnBramwell]

This video supports how fruitless charity is. What is needed is a proper Constitution, supporting Capitalism and Individual Rights. With the concomitant enforcement of contracts, then the efforst of citizens reward them, and welfare becomes unnecessary.

Yes, the Welfare State cuckolded the man! Get government out of citizens' lives and citizens will prosper. It had NOTHING to do with God, and everything to do with Men.

[aligerous]

@RnBramwell Amen to that.

[RnBramwell]

Drekora,it is greed that set a standard that most poor never understand. The best way to help the poor is to not be one of them!

Success, has nothing to do with how generous the rich may be, but everything to do with how *selfish* both groups are. It is the selfish that live well in the world.

Write off most of the commentary in this video. Write off most of what you, Drekora.

Teach the poor to be smart, AND selfish. Only in that respect will people cease to be tragic peons.

[Drekora]

we have to live off of helping each other. If the greedy get love maybe they'll change their evil habits but they have to give it in return. Even the rich need to love the poor. And rich are more corruptible than the poor b/c with power you can make more change in the world and thus with influence you start thinking about evil things.

[Drekora]

-let's out tears to show how much he cares- I don't desire to be a hippie like media describes them as. To me, I have to win regardless of how impossible people imply it as. Even the impossible is possible to take on.

[Drekora]

Now if a person was poor, that person wouldn't have the things vital to survive happily. People need to put themselves in other people's shoes and see what it's like. If all of you say money is good, then why aren't you giving money to the poor and making them happy? Do you not want them to be happy? Wouldn't that be called being selfish?

[Drekora]

sin is corruption that upsets the balance. Greed is what causes people to get more money than they should get. When you do a job you should get the necessary money you do for it. If you give something you should get something in return (referring to the law of equivalent exchange).

[Drekora]

anyone who says money is good should just leave this world and should not even exist.

[Drekora]

it's sad how people don't help others. Money should never have existed in the first place. The poor should be given money. Government shouldn't spend money on Israel if they just so happen to be doing it.

[lovinlifeandpoor]

Welfare was messed up when it started. Assist a person, cut that support off as soon as they make too much money (too much moneylaughable). They may have just started to get a foot-hold and now you want to cut off their assistance NO. How many times do you think you could start over?! How many times can a person be knocked down before they lose the will to stand again? Continue to support them, say for two years, ensure they will be able to maintain what they have accomplished so far.

[dinosloveapplepi]

wow very interesting video clip. i had never thought of it that way. thats why doing community service is such a great thing!

[Babigirl1969]

The people who say don't help the poor are the people who have money. My sister just a couple of months ago was as poor as I am. All of a sudden she's getting $10,000 a month because her husband is in iraq, as a civilian, voluntarily. He wouldn't be there if they knew he was in therapy for having been there 3 previous times already in the A.F. My point is, all of a sudden she thinks she better than me and refuses to help me. She use to condemn the very people she became just like.

[RalphReagan]

Right on hippies get a job!

[singledad1234]

you should not listen to this asshole

and READ LUKE CHAPTER SIX

instead of listening to some idiot

[SolutionsbyDMC]

Amazing video

THE LOVE OF MONEY

not money itself

funny how you quote that scripture

but not the one where it says

MONEY IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

and its the LOVE OF MONEY

that keeps the RICH FROM GIVING ANY OF THE DAM STUFF TO THE POOR

[singledad1234]

My heart goes out to any single parent family. Parenting is difficult enough without doing it without a spouse.

Are you sure that if people "DONATE ONE DOLLAR" it will help a single-parent family? Those who think money will solve problems do not understand money.

"The love of money is the root of all evil." This principle applies both to those who have a lot of money and to those who have little or no money. Sometimes those who don't have money love money more than those who have money.

Subscribe to SCAWWEB to learn how to help children in poor countries. All your money actually goes to the child.

[yohnrob]

Best way is to rob the rich by hacking their bank accounts and put in your own, then distribute the money.

Stealing money from Rich is the answer.

[collegegradued]

No the best way is get rid of all wetback illegal aliens like yohnrob and toss that human waste back to their own freaking country and we all US citzens will be richier!!!!

[lovemyroots]

people that come here from other countries come here to work and to better themselves they come here with dreams and goals. America represents people from all backgrounds and with all kind of interesting backgrounds the ONLY US citizens are the Indians are you one of them???

[abassett22]

its fine if they come here legally, but when they break our laws, send millions of dollars back to their own country, rob our tax system with lies and false claims, take advantage of our programs (welfare, unemployment etc) with out paying into the system. then there is a serious problem.

[lovemyroots]

They send money that they have earned not your money....the goverment sends more money from your pocket out of the country or just spends it on unnecessary programs and nobody seems to complain about that. I think people that have a job pay plenty of taxes so I don;t understand why you said that they don't pay into the sysmtem besides illegals can't get welfare or collect unemployment you have to be a citizen or at least a recident.

[abassett22]

the point of them sending money, is it isnt in our economy anymore, and yes, i do have a problem with the government sending money to other countries too, and plenty of people compain about that. and no, illegals do not pay taxes, they either work for cash, or claim the max amount of dependents with a fake SS number. they can collect welfare and unemployment, and they do, with false ss numbers, and put their kids in our schools which are underfunded. and they cripple our hospitals too.

[lovemyroots]

immigrants are hard working people and all of this hatred towards them is just not right. They are here to support their families---this country is rich because of immigrants.

[abassett22]

your missing a very important point, i have no problem with immigrants, and certainly agree that this country is what it is because of immigrants. but it is all because of LEGAL ones, not the illegal ones that have no desire to be part of our country, who bring in drugs and gangs,  and countless other problems, if you want to come here and work great, but play by the rules.

[dawpe]

Drugs are evil!!! I 'm not talking about weed; it's that rock!! THe shit is evil!!!

[neoone27]

YOUR JURK! some people are sooooo unfortunant you have to ask yourself... if you were them would you want someone to help you? learn to judge better and you can do whats right alittle better.

[ab1tchslap]

I have a report about this in my favorites. I think its called creating dependency or something like that.

[DonaldDHightower]

This is an outstanding video. Loved it. John Nunes, my kinda guy!

[BagOfEyebrows]

Excellent video -

[FreeAgain2]

The truth; we send money to the poor to cure our own sense of guilt. We feel better afterwards, and it is easy - a twisted way to buy our own happiness.

But it does not work for the poor - it is not what the poor need. The poor need our TIME not just money. And that is something we don't want to give - Ourselves.

Check out big brother big sisters and volunteer yourself.

Money won't love anyone, it will never replace a hug from a missing father or a bedtime story from missing mother.

[kilovictor88]

Great truth on such an important issue most people don't delve below the surface on.

[timerty1776]

what we subsidize we get more of

[3ssay]

@timerty1776 That's a good point. Taking care of the poor just makes more poor people. If we just want something bad to stop happening, we should just stop trying to get the government to help.

Now I see the way to end war, disease, and illiteracy is to cut military, scientific research, and education funding.

[sujustus]

this is so far from what I have thought about giving. Somehow, i felt deep inside that social programs were counterintuitive, but i could not explain it. this has helped.

[cozmikbrown]

Wow! R.C. you're famous! Your words touched me.
