Never fail to mark a net gain for humanity as financially ineffective obstacle. You know there exist some middle ground between dysfunctional socialism and brutal capitalism? Those places are comparably a paradise for common folks like most of us.

To be treated with respect like a human being and having overall a good life is still a privilege in 21st century.

This is so far from the point of my comment, it really illustrates how people will view and comment based on the their preconceptions and worldviews before any attempt at rational thought.

I am not saying that the social program is bad. What I did try to point out is that there is no real "giving" of anything. That is all. We cool?
