We shouldn’t push a positive mindset on those in poverty

What seems more effective in bringing about change to you: trying to teach others to not exploit the system by setting an example and hoping they emulate your behavior, or changing the system so that those behaviors are prohibited?

You can lay the blame on individuals all you want, but you're just going to be attacking symptoms, not the the problem.

I'm sick of this notion that having the government "step in" is a bad thing. There is no purpose to government if not to be used to act in public's benefit.

I’m not blaming individuals just calling out “talk is cheap”.

Sitting comfortably behind a computer claiming someone else should fix a problem is easy. Actually doing something (no matter how small) isn’t.
