I think most of us still believe we are our brother's keeper.

I guess some people prefer to let the most innocent, children, just starve.
What cold, callous "hearts", they have.
It's better that they should die, than be given a meal.
After all, it's not like that child will ever amount to anything, right?
They are nothing more than a drain on society.
Don't bother trying to prove me wrong.
The attitudes that I have seen here, speaks volumes.
I would say that they should be ashamed of themselves, but I think that they are incapable of feeling shame.
When they're standing in front of the Pearly Gates, they will have to answer for their attitudes towards the less fortunate, and face His judgement, and it just might not be what they're expecting.
I'm done with this thread, and hope that a mod shuts it down.
Boy you know how to blow something up and create what was never said or even insinuated. This is exactly what is wrong with the entire subject, making things up that no one ever said.
I agree, the attitudes I see here do speak volumes.
They speak not of strength, not of empowerment, not of independence, not of self worth. They speak of an endless train of just giving the bare minimum to people to calm the masses conscious.
The real shame is that we keep doing the same thing, but expect something different in results.We keep providing, generation after generation, all the basic handouts, expect less and less of each upcoming generation, accept excuses for lack of improvement in poverty, education, and worst of all, expect that the government administering it all is the right way, in fact the only way to fix it. Those who keep that endless cycle going with their feigned concern, are only holding back those who can and should be succeeding.
The kids right now, out of school for this event, who have to rely on government sponsored lunches getting to them, are in that position because people keep insisting we do it the same way, over and over. The way it isn't working.
Those who are failing their fellow man by thinking they can just pay a tax and let it be doled out and that is really 'help' for those in need are the ones incapable of feeling shame.
Keep doing what you are doing, and you will keep getting what you are getting.
It's time to do it different. It's time to be done outside the government. It's time put the private sector and the individual people in the nation in the lead of changing the face of this mess.
But that will require true involvement beyond just letting one's tax alleviate ones guilt. I don't really think a lot of the people who post with attitudes like this particular post represents, are capable of doing what it really takes, that would be real work, that would be unpopular, that would be uncomfortable. Sad.

@Happycat1 All those school children being fed two meals a day in schools throughout cities cannot be children of parents who have had a catastrophe or have temporarily fallen on hard times.
I have worked very hard for my income and the one time I needed financial help when I was much younger I got a loan and paid it back monthly until it was paid off, by working. Nobody in my family or in families where I was raised expected the government to feed their children. It was shameful in fact back then to be "on the dole." We weren't raised to think the government would support us. We were raised to go to school, do our school work and graduate, and then work for a living.
Pearly would really want to see children go to school hungry because of what you think about their parents? Would you Ignore them because you don't want your tax money to go towards feeding children? I hope that I never look into the eyes of a hungry child and feel that way/
