>>>"Now we have entitlement, which doesn't have the same commitment on either side. "<<< Currently the brightest among us go to Wall Street to manage money and get rich. But our success historically has been because the brightest among us have gone out to develop ideas that become productive sources of wealth. When the culture values managing money more that developing great ideas, we are doomed. You might be in a condition of need at some point. If you, non-poor person or any other non-poor person goes to ask for financial help, you are given terms, so that the provider knows the benefit of loaning money to you will result in their benefit. The idea of helping the poor should always include a consideration of how the common good will be served. Should poor people benefitting from public welfare be obligated to return value to society? The ethical answer is yes, to the extent they become able to return value to society. Should we then provide enough support for them to have sustenance as well as opportunity? Yes is the logical conclusion. The possibility for innovation and economic development becomes multiplied. Will the rich get richer? Probably, so what? In this situation helping the least among us to become better, is the correct avenue to greater prosperity for all.
