“The more that is given, the less people will work for themselves, and the less they work, the more their poverty will increase.”

The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, with all its welfare state tenants and other non-charitable enforced canons, does in fact (proven over, and over, and over again etc., etc., etc.) create and increase poverty. It also creates a system of slaves. As a general rule, anything you unceasingly finance and invest in (especially when it is presented in a religiously moral justification) it will increase. Finance and invest in poverty, it will increase.

Says it all.

Tolstoi wrote many a word which this refutes.
