2. I don't give money.

It seems like all of the money that we give ends up in the hands of the people who then turn around and use that money against us.

I hate to see people lose their homes because they don't have the money, but we need to get to the point where everyone understands that 'they' use money to control 'us'.

We have to come up with some kind of plan to support the less fortunate that doesn't involve giving them money. Maybe this is a step in the right direction.

People have no discipline. I would be more inclined to give money (if I had any to spare) to go directly toward someone's rent or house payment or utilities. If someone is hungry I try to give them food, if they're stranded if rather give them gas. I don't want a penny of what I give to anyone going toward cigarettes or alchohol, that's why I don't give money.
