What a monumental waste of my time.
Please name the obligation that you think we should care.

I firmly believe until we get our own house in order, we can't help others. Is your house in order?

You were the one asking what the obligation of the poor is to society. Not me. I have nothing to explain. You've just been saying that hoping you'd get the usual internet quality low effort posts. Something anti-rich, probably. It's easy to respond to. But I didn't do that. I challenged your question, to which you avoided it for several pages. Now you're acting as if I'm the one expecting anyone to feel obligated to anything when I've said no such thing.

If you didn't have a point to make by asking your initial question, you should not have asked it.

Any time someone can't afford to buy food and dies of starvation thats capitalism in its purest form. We have enough food for everyone yet people still die of hunger.

So who can't afford to buy food here, have you seen the food stamp program? No starvation should happen here unless the money is used to buy drugs instead.

I have no idea what you are talking about. If you have an actual question, please ask.
