Would that have anything to do with intentionally demoralizing, and impoverishing people, in order to create a secular welfare state?

How many can you rescue, before criticizing others. Do you practice what you preach, under voluntarism, or must you be coerced, by state interests, until every last person is successful. Also, are you under a vow of abject poverty, like an ascetic.

My guess is 95% of those who bellyache about the poor do little to nothing on a personal level to help them. Much less help them on a regular basis. They cry about the poor on Twitter and make lots of memes etc. But my guess is in reality they do squat to help. It's all just a lot of political posturing.

And conservatives do?
There's only so much an individual can do.
And how do you know liberals do little but b***h about caring for the poor? Sounds like something the rights dreams up to bash the left.

If you get a chance read Charles Dickens to get a rough idea of how life was like in pre-union industrial England when workers were totally reliant on the "good will" of their fabulously wealthy employers and there were no bleeding heart lefties around to "bellyache" about the poor

No Bill, it's my personal guess regarding the situation. My guess is most people don't even do what little they can. That their actions come no where near to the amount of crocodile tears they shed.

And how do you know that? My church collectively raises money for local charities, so we can all take some credit for helping the needy. And everyone drops a quarter or two for collection for charities, which accumulates into quite a bit.

Are they giving, voluntarily. If so, this is better than charity, at gunpoint, also known as a mugging.
