And the employer who doesn't pay people enough to survive will either have to change their wage strategy or go out of business." Why do you think that if the people are willing to vote to have the government force us to be charitable that we wouldn't just do it on our own?" create, fund and maintain the tremendous infrastructure necessary in every state, city, county and town in our nation of 300 plus million citizens to assure that children across our nation are not going to bed hungry and that our people have the basics of medicine, dental care, shelter, clothing, etc. It's disingenuous to say that Americans in our city's poverty pockets or our rural mountain hollows can be protected by the good intentions of people who don't know them and don't see them. There's simply no way that those who are of a different ethnicity, speak a different language and are far removed from the lives of most of us can be assured of receiving the minimum support necessary to give them at least a chance for a healthy life. Writing that check with the real intent of giving to someone in need is far more meaningful than a blind deduction from your paycheck. It also takes a little effort. But it's worth it, you should try it ."
