Liberals are not Humanitarian

The liberal left will have you believe that it is a humanitarian ideal, that they represent the goodness of mankind in their desire to help the poor and misfortunate in this country with their welfare programs such as Social Security and other such programs. Many times I’ve heard them make the analogy that if you saw a man thirsty in the desert would you not give him water? If you saw a man lying by the side of the road, his cloths torn and bloody, would you pass by on the other side and ignore him, or would you come to his aid like a Good Samaritan?

This example is complete bull, and anyone with an ounce of sense can see that (not that many people have that much sense, but for the sake of discussion lets ignore that). Liberals often see conservatives who seek less government interference in the privet market and NO welfare programs as somehow evil people who wish not to help their fellow man. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality it is the liberals who do not respect their fellow men. It is one thing to give to the poor and the less fortunate, to do that is morally righteous and commendable, it is an entirely thing altogether to force someone into charitable giving, which is essentially what the government does when it gives any kind of welfare program. The American tax payers have no choice on whether or not the government may take their money, all that we ask is that our dully elected officials spend our hard earned cash wisely in fulfilling their mission of protecting our rights. By giving out money directly to the poor the government is, in fact, taking money away from you to give to someone else, wealth redistribution. Charity is wonderful, and no one gives more than the American people, but forcing someone to give to charity by taking their money under false pretenses and then giving that money to someone else who didn’t earn it is wrong and despicable.

This is America, where protection of property is assured. Our wealth is our property, and although the government must take what it needs to protect our rights, it should never take more than what is needed and should never spend what they have on welfare programs which take money from one American and hand it over to another. This is the foundation for my arguments against the welfare state.
