There just aren't any...unless you like communism, the decay of competition, and a greater disparity between the classes.

I don't think I can easily sum up the argument except to point out that Plato believed each individual owed a duty not just to himself but to the State (the community he lives in), and therefore a just life is more appropriate to this duty.\n\nBut again, the reasoning here is complicated and deserves some thought.

Maybe you can do it the old fasioned way:  go door to door, and ask people to give you money.\n\nIf that doesn't work, write letters to rich multi-millionaire Democrats like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, Michael Moore, and Hillary Clinton.  They're always telling us the poor deserve more, well, here's their chance to step up and lead by example.

What's your thesis/argument?

nope, social issues are the province of individuals and governments not buisness.  Letting buisness use moral teasers lessens the value of the issue.  Instead make a better product and reap the rewards then donate to charities that you favor.

It ought to be mandatory to get food assistance in 3rd world countries where they are producing babies as fast as they starve to death, but it's not a bad idea here, especially if they are 3rd generation welfare recipients. I'm one of the working pooor who gets annoyed at people on food stamps driving better vehicles than I have, have their rent paid for, who whine about not getting more money and spitting out babies to get more benefits. Gee, I guess I'm developing an attitude :P

Well. Put a project plan and apporach any certified NGO who probably can fund the plan. But you seriously need to have good plan before you can convince anybody.

not prove - but offer a rationale. Same with statistics. Like Humpty Dumpty said i nWonderland " I pay the words, so they mean whatever I want them to mean."

How does one answer a question like this?  Are you expecting someone to say yeah its a good thing and I believe wholeheartedly in the institution of poverty as a means of making our middleclass feel good about themselves?

Actually this is not a straw-man argument but it need not demonstrate inconstancy in the person. They could hold for instance (Incorrectly in my opinion) that the foetus is not yet a living organism and therefore is not yet possessed of those rights that they afford all life and which the lobsters therefore possess.\n\nA straw-man argument is one in which you present your opponents argument in a form where it is much weaker than it need be, perhaps by omitting some crucial point or by misconstruing the argument. Then like a straw-man would be it is easier to knock down.

I support a moderate form of libertarianism.  People should have a choice about things. I favour a minimum wage but agree with free trade and tax cuts.  I don't support the taxation of income trusts and would eliminate red tape for small and independent business.  I am very capitalist but believe hard work should be rewarded and there must be guidelines on labour standards.  Let people purchase private health care if desired but don't abandon a public system, however, more money into it is not the answer.  We need to supplement the system with private clinics and private delivery of health care to reduce waiting lists.  Actually, maybe I take that back.  Somehow I fear 'Ralph Klein' style health care.  \n\nSay no to corporate welfare and high property taxes.  Say no to duplication of services and union-oriented agendas.  Say no to a lax civil service that provides services better taken care of by the private sector.  Require a balanced budget and insist that money be spent on essential programs like subsidized housing, shelters for the homeless, public education, roads and health care.  Say no to welfare maintenance for years on end and get corporations to take care of daycare for anyone who earns above the poverty line.  I do favour a subsidy and tax benefits for families below the poverty line.  It is better to move single mothers into the workforce and support them with public housing and daycare then leave them on welfare for years.  The only exceptions should be women with disabilities with kids, under nineteen, women with disabled children, and ones in a rehab facility or with severe health problems.\n\nAlso, Yahoo! should spend less time censoring speech in general and spend more time      ing down on public statements of      against gays, ethnic minorities, women and Jews.
