What do we as a society owe the poor?
“We are a nation deeply divided on how best to address poverty.
On one side are folks, like me, who feel that a civil, caring society has a moral responsibility to fund anti-poverty programs.
On the other side are people who argue that it’s unfair that a share of their income — through taxation — subsidizes various federal and state entitlement programs that help people who became poor because they made irresponsible decisions.”
