By government giveaway programs, individuals are often hurt far more than they are helped. The recipients of these programs become dependent on the government and their dignity is destroyed.

Helping people to become self-sufficient is much more compassionate than drugging them with the narcotic of welfare.

He is now the most popular political figure in the country by a large margin.

In England, enclosure programs kind of destroyed the commons. In the United States, it happened later. But, ah, now it\'s happening in the world.
