A comparison of government controlled charity (welfare) and private charity. With example of $100

government:
1. cost of IRS to enforce tax collection, cost of federal prisons, courts, buraucracy, re-election funds, etc, recipient gets tiny fraction of $100
2. recipient gets cash: can buy beer, cigarettes, drugs, candy, etc, rampant fraud
3. no choice, when money is wasted / lost I still pay taxes next month
4. my car broke but I must pay taxes so I'm forced into debt

private (i.e. church, salvation army, etc):
1. low or no administrative cost, recipient gets full $100
2. recipient gets food or medicine, not cash, virtually no fraud
3. choice: Red Cross wasted $100, so next month I give to United Way instead
4. my car broke so I keep my $100 this month, make it up later, not forced into debt.

These are just a couple quick points that prove privatization is the only logical method to help the needy. We must help the needy, but not through the government. Can you refute?

"purchased a pair of boxing gloves from BIG5(sporting goods store) and used them for 6months and one of the gloves started to lose its inner-padding. Then you decide to purchase the EXACT same pair of gloves and return the old ones back to the store to get your money back." They had me fill out a refund form which they took my driver's license and wrote down my info(name/address/signature). I BASICALLY PURCHASED NEW GLOVES SO I COULD EXCHANGE THEM FOR MY OLD ONES AND RETURNED IT BACK TO THE STORE FOR A REFUND. what's the worst that could happen? can they contact me or call the police or am i just too damn paranoid?!

Ok here is the deal, my phone company called the other day and said DSL was available to my home. So we called to get it ordered and they said we had already placed the order, come to find out a customer service rep had placed the order without permission from us. So we tell them we didnt place an order but would like to keep the current order and sign up for DSL, then we get a call today that it isnt available to our area, after we have gotten the modem and were 2 days away from having it. I want to know what i can do about this matter and if there is a possible law suit here?

I heard about some lefties going bananas over some shirt with a symbol that resembled a swastika. My question is this. If you take away the shirt, does it mean the guy who would wear it is any less of a nazi? So maybe we should start addressing the actual problems instead of simply covering them up so everyone feels good.

Both places teach how to kill human beings and brainwash "soldiers" to fight and hate. How are they different? If you are a soldier, how can you sleep at night knowing that you might have killed someone innocent today?

What can be done about how Canadian customs authorities are allowed to unjustly charge money, restrict, and impede American Blacks mobility at the U.S./Canadian border based on inaccurate and expired feloniously biased data delivered to them by seemingly like-minded American authorities?

This is an ever-growing problem on a very short fuse leading to international civil unrest in my opinion. What an excellent pre-staged avenue for alledged terrorist to both aide and abet!!

These are the people you are defending. These people you have embraced as your own just because you hate our president. Seriously, all jokes aside, what is wrong with you? How can you blame America for this?
