'It's amazing to me how many people think
that voting to have the government give poor
people money is compassion. Helping poor
and suffering people yourself is compassion.
Voting for our government to use guns to give
money to help poor and suffering people is
immoral self-righteous bullying laziness.
People need to be fed, medicated, educated,
clothed, and sheltered. If we're compassionate,
we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for
forcing other people to do what you think is
right. There is great joy in helping people,
but no joy in doing it at gunpoint."
