  1. Charity and handouts = poverty and slavery via dependency.

  4. That's not saying much as Xi Jinping and much of the ruling CCP are billionaires themselves. They care about as much for frontline workers as they do the Uyghurs and Hong Kongers.

  6. Descendants of robber barons and slave-owners.

  8. <diminishes the overall amount of poverty.> Only to exacerbate the poverty once the most productive no longer want to produce having their hard-earned fruits taken away.

  12. Equal wealth doesn't exist. And for good reason. Most people are generally foolish with money and will piss it all away. <And that famines and poverty are caused by capitalism, > LOL.

  13. Who then become the rich. And the cycle continues.

  15.  @abelabel3664  <Anyhow, the difference between having a monopoly by a government is that such government may be acting in the interest of its people and it does not have to create a profit,> ROFL. Only in uber-theocratic oil-rich Arab monarchies. And they do have to create a profit in order to generate the funds to keep the citizens from rising against them. Just ask Tunisia.

  16.  @draalttom844  While being billionaires themselves.

  17. Charity doesn't work because it creates and furthers poverty via dependency.

  18. Poverty will never be eradicated because the problem lies with the people themselves and their poor habits.

  19. And why is it their job to do so?

  20. Fascism = socialism just like communism.

  21. Neither do average people.

  22. But ultimately charity doesn't help people in the long run as it perpetuates poverty via dependency and entitlement.

  23.  @noahwilliams8996  How many poor people are risking their lives to go live in Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea?

  24. <Imagine if that donated money was actually being funneled directly to the level where its needed> It would have gotten pissed away due to people looking for instant gratification as opposed to long-term planning to ensure they won't be in constant need.

  25.  @lucifervanitasov3432  Yes it is.

  26. <How dare these people fund their charitable organizations in a way that will allow them to do good deeds forever.> Largely to clean up their image, make people forget about the dirty deeds they do to even get the money to donate to charity and cover up for their personal agendas.

  27. Bill Gates is a Democrat-voter just like Jeff Bezos.

  28. Maybe he would pay his taxes gladly if the government wasn't so wasteful and irresponsible.

  30.  @noahwilliams8996  Socialism and its offspring communism and fascism.

  31.  @noahwilliams8996  Socialism had plenty of that to go around.

  32. Or Cambodia.

  34.  @noahwilliams8996  Foreign aid undermines local development and sovereignty. He who feeds you, owns you (c) Thomas Sankara

  35. He did. Just like Rockefeller.

  36.  @demolitionizer7686  LOL. Like it did in Venezuela?

  37. Poverty can never be eliminated as some people really suck at managing finances or live for instant gratification, long-term consequences be damned!

  38. Neither do the poor themselves.

  39. Doesn't matter as neither of them work anyway.
