| In response to an argument I had about Ron Paul, somebody commented (on the other side) " I don’t like to make generalizations based on political positions, but it seems to be a requirement in the Libertarian movement to be a soulless person?" I feel offended, because this comment is completely biased into thinking that just because I don't believe the governenment should provide for you means I don't have a soul and am an evil person automatically. |

If you have a 'soul'
usually it means you are naturally a good person to other people and yourself. |

| I like to think that I am a good person to other people and myself, I just don't believe the government needs to help somebody. |

The government doesn't need to help to help someone if they don't even need it.
Like I said before, Poorness is a state of mind not how much you own.
Government's role is to create an environment so no matter how much you own everyone has an equal chance and achieving their dreams
that is why, by law, we are created equal. |

"who need it"
How do you determine who needs it? |

Good question.
One way to find out is the tax rate.
If it is unfair, then change it. |

Jobless and homeless. Also I have a question does america have different tax brackets so the poor pay less tax. |

OHHEELNO
Not since Bush
Bush Set very High taxes for the poor and low for the rich
Wich makes no sense because then the government will get no revenue.
Before that, we had the most ingenious flat tax imposed by Ronald Reagan some 20 years before. |

a box is a legit home.
If they want to get a job, let corporations do that. Government should NOT intervene.
Governments are horrible at making jobs.
Let companies do that. |

| And that is why, America became a superpower within only 130 years since it declared independence. |
