Yes, that’s something I overlooked when I made the meme, and it’s truth also can be applied to people who have received handouts as they become violent when this is taken from them, as the resident communist who replied to me below has indicated.
People are free to exercise private charity all they want. They aren’t entitled to force others to do it.
The old adage of “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day” has been updated by a reader to “Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French Fries.” Moreover some politician who wants his vote will declare these to be their “basic human rights.”
True, there’s no reason not to help, but they will get more value for it if they do it voluntarily rather than working just so that everything they make goes to the community.
THE REASON WE DON’T FEED BEARS IS THEY LOSE THE INCENTIVE AND ABILITY TO FORAGE WHICH CAUSES THEM TO STARVE AFTER THEY BECOME DEPENDENT ON HANDOUTS; THIS IS ALSO WHY WE CANNOT GIVE EVERYTHING PEOPLE MAY NEED TO THEM FOR FREE — THEY LOSE THE INCENTIVE AND ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES. THEN WHEN THEY CAN’T PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES THEY CAN’T PROVIDE FOR SOCIETY.
