    Incredible how so many people assume that when the government provides for its people it only does so because of some sinister ulterior motive

        Depends on who's doing it, they do it because of neglect and the party elites hoarding all the resources. We just have a great spirit of self-sufficiency!

      In case of the US-goverment you can almost guarantee there is always some sinister ulterior motive. With China demonized like it is now, do you think it will cross a single libs mind that China does politics for its people on occasion just for the sake of it?

      The average liberal, as every human, tends to project their worldview and way of thinking onto everything. Doing something good without getting somethingvin return does not compute for them. People with power using said power to help powerless does not compute.

      In a libs brain, charity can only be done by individual philantropy, politicians only do things to get reelected and the goverment doing stuff they personally dislike is bad, because it interferes with the free markets.

      It is a terribly sad thing that one half of political America is living in fantasy land, while the other half are barely functioning as humans anymore, with everything that is seen as humanities greatest virtues stripped away.

        Exactly what the ruling class has been trying to make happen for 50+ years :)
