Default Re: Helping the Poor

The US government is there to preserve the power of the opulent minority as dictated by the constitution. In this sense it is +ev for government to act liberally in order to contain the public; redistribute wealth etc... but with very calculated limits as to sustain inequality and a passive subordinate populace without (purposefully) approaching anything near a breakdown of the class system or egalitarianism.

So its a tough question. In order to NOT help the poor, you have to, to a calculated degree, help them(!)
