Does 'sooner rather than later' mean anything other than 'soon'?

Because we hate infanticide even more.

@theprideproductions He did, actually. 4:55 to 5:20 didn't sound like blaming the poor to me.
The charity thing isn't a bad idea. I think a charity organization could handle every last welfare program far more efficiently than the federal government could (less bureaucrats) You would also be surprised how much more people are willing to give when it's voluntary rather than taxed. The rich (that "evil" 1%) pays 40% of our nation's revenue right now.

Wow... Glad to finally see the facts on this. I'm sending this to all of my friends.

I notice how corporate and farm subsidies are conveniently left out of the pie chart.

In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one part of the citizens to give to the other.

The role of the government is to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority.

Let me know where there is a Democracy? Vote away!

@SongBirdJesusFreak Not the federal government. They are run by state and city governments, which is fine by me. If a state or city government becomes oppressive with their taxes, you can always move to a new city or state. Unless you like eating foreign food, there is no option for you if the federal government becomes oppressive.
With that said, MOST adoptions are done privately, not through sponsored foster care

@fastonfeat Are orphanages and foster care run and funded by the government?
-
@SongBirdJesusFreak With adoption the baby stays alive. Do not underestimate the affect that the Lost Human Potential has had on our economy.
Also, by spending on other people, do you mean giving freely to those in need, or having the government take it away by force and give it to undeserved constituents and bail out banks and given to dictators and spent on themselves and taken up in 'administrative costs'? Did you know Congress can't vote out a benefit?
-
Someone answer my question please. If conservatives HATE welfare and spending on other people, why do they believe in adoption instead of abortion???
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years"
