It's not about how generous anyone is, it's about how much the state should be involved in supporting those at the bottom of the pile. Left wing tend to say they should get more involved whereas right wing tend to support businesses to create employment for people. I'm not saying anyone right wing is less generous than left wing, just a different way of solving social problems. That is what the thread is about.

But what about the issue of how much the govt should be involved in supporting those at the TOP of the pile. The right wing has been supporting business and giving them tax break insentives to move their operations overseas. I know what this thread is about..I am the one who started it... its about welfare in general..wether for the poor or for the corporate.

I assumed you were talking about social welfare in regards to the bottom of the pile. Apologies for that.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

Thats okay man. Feel free to keep discussing that end of the spectrum. This is why I made the poll so generic, so that a wide variety of topics based on this theme could continue afterwards on this thread...not for the vote in the poll...you know, I tried to do my best to keep "left vs. right" suggestions out if the original question, which isnt easy today.
