Did You Give to Haiti?

Interesting.

I gave to the Red Cross for Haiti. Did you?

The Red Cross raised 10s of millions via a promotion over cell phones after earthquake proving that private charity can help, and providing support for the thesis of this video.

I'm sure your marxist filter perceived this video differently than myself, but if we are progressing to a global empathetic society (i think we are still WAY off) and we can all be empathetic toward each other and the biosphere, we wouldn't need a government to tell us how to behave with the threat of violence, would we?

Yes.

Who said charity didn't help?

Unfortunately we are led by selfish, crass Republicans and Libertarians.

In an age of empathy, everyone would be a libertarian.

LOL, no, the basis of libetarianism is choice. Choice leads to selfishnees.

The basis of maxism is force. Force leads to slavery.
