I was having this discussion with my boy, and he was saying there is no reason to help the poor, it isn't logical.
My left-leaning self went into this big discussion on how we should help the poor. He brought up this idea of a life boat: Say the human race is 100 people andthere is a lifeboat that can carry 50. Does it make sense that we all drown on the lifeboat?
I don't mean to vent, but it bothered me that I actually found merit in his argument. If you step back and analyze rationally it doesn't make sense tohelp those who can't help themselves.
The other thread made me think of this discussion, People are a cancer, no matter how much you feed them. They will never be satisfied.
It is really bothering me that I agree with him now
Thoughts?
