The society that originally built the factories and ran them should have owned them and they should have been the share holders. not someone like me who happened to be lucky enough to be born into an environment that enabled him to do so.

What we are talking about should be studied in the field of social engineering and political science.

Please note that I REJECT SOCIALISM out of hand
and I cheered and celebrated in 1991, when communism fell.

I have always supported Individualism, personal freedom n hedonism.

You seem to be an Ayn Rand fan.

She did not have a monopoly on that point of vu, nor did she originate it, nor did she claim to do so..

OK, as long as it is VOLUNTARY,
not the product of government-based extortion.

Everyone feels like they have been exploited by the government for one reason or another.

I think that land should be a god given right and that everyone should at least be entitled to a small piece without having to purchase it. Now I do realize that there would be a problem over who gets the better pieces of land but those should be the issue one should face rather than finding the money to buy land. All land should go back into the pool after people pass away.

I really don't think that the people here worry overmuch whether what they are doing is VOLUNTARY or not.

If they can get some much-needed help from the government, they will gladly accept it and not worry about it
being or not being the government's responsibility.

The point is that no one should go hungry and it is everyone's responsibility

(and that includes government agencies)

to insures that one's neighbors (and that includes strangers and newcomers and -- yes -- even illegal immigrants) get enough to eat.

Do try and join us, David. You might enjoy being a member of the human race at last.

Most earnestly do I entreat u, Andy, to inform me in regard to HOW the illegal aliens got that right????????

I think you intentionally misread ne, David. If, instead of breaking my sentences up into "sound-bites",
you would quote them in their entirety,

you would be bound to see that I am not talking about "rights" but about responsibilities.
I firmly believe that it is my responsibility
to give aid and comfort to those less fortunate than I am wherever and whenever I can.

I don't ask to see a person's "green card" when that person is in need to help.

I don't see how you can deny -- with a straight face yet, I suspect -- that the government,
too, has a responsibility towards all people it finds within its borders.

What, then, is the function of a government, any government, if not to concern itself with the well-being of the people it governs?

Record Number of Americans Continue to Go Hungry

Washington, DC, November 15, 2010
One in seven, or 14.7 percent, of American households suffered from food insecurity in 2009, according to the most recent data on hunger released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). While the numbers remain unchanged since 2008, they are still the highest recorded levels since the USDA first began publishing figures on food insecurity.
“These numbers are still far too high. There are 12.9 million households in all of California, and the number of U.S. households who struggle to put food on the table is higher still than that. We must do more and we must do it better,” said Bread for the World President David Beckmann. “With record-breaking unemployment rates and the impact of the recession, Congress needs to ensure that programs designed to mitigate hunger — like SNAP, the national school meal programs, and WIC — are well-funded.”
