let's look at Somalia, Ethiopia, and others from that region. Plenty of kids. all starving to death. education ? health care ? they don't got basic food like bread.
many other countries are in this situation. I saw a documentary about India, where poor families give away their kids to richer families for $5/month, where the kids are put to cooking, house cleaning and stuff, but not to school. A girl's finger nails were all distorted from the hard work
When we start to give money more importance than it deserves, it's merely a trade catalyst, a tool used because it's been devised to conveniently transfer my labor into your grain. Some people start to worship the money and they forget what it signifies. The sweat, blood, and spirit of a man or woman.
All a person really needs is enough to keep a shelter overhead and dry and warm, clothes on his back, shoes on his feet, and food and fresh water,health care, beyond that is luxury. Every American should be awarded that as the bare minimum of welfare, just because their feet are on the soil of the USA.
