  This is the what if edge case we ware talking about before, it’s a worst case scenario based on the assumption that majority of people are racist and don’t want to help each other, and even though I don’t belive that is the case and my opinion is supported by the countless amount of charities and non profits, sure, potentially that is something that could happen. The reason why this is an acceptable risk is because the alternative is what we have today, corrupt, wasteful, broken system of extortion where poor stay poor and rich get richer and puting more money into it won’t fix it.

    Yes, racist Southern towns with poor black neighborhoods are totally “what if” cases and not the norm.

      And the current tax funded system clearly doesn’t prevent that and putting more money into it seems to only make it worse. Maybe if the people in those neighborhoods could decide how they want to invest their money and the money given to them by charities and donations instead of being dependent on their racist mayor doing the right thing and investing in their community instead of taking the money for himself and his community that would change.

        Yes, we have already established that the system as it is now is not fair.

        Maybe if the people in those neighborhoods could decide how they want to invest their money and the money given to them by charities and donations instead of being dependent on their racist mayor doing the right thing and investing in their community instead of taking the money for himself and his community that would change.

        They don’t have money to invest because they’re poor. You do understand what poverty is, yes?
