"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". -Maimonides THE FAILED WAR ON POVERTY: Seven years after LBJ's War on Poverty, the poverty rate stopped falling. Why? Government handouts encouraged poor Americans to become dependent. Teaching a man to be self-reliant helps him far more, and private charities and markets do a much better job of this than government. BIG GOVERNMENT VS. CAPITALISM: There are three ways to help people: Government, charity, or free markets. Markets work better than charity, and charity works better than government, but when I asked people whether government or capitalism helps people more, most said charity or government. If you study the data, its clear markets are superior to charity. CAPITALISM THAT CARES: Another example of how markets work better than government: Obamacare requires everyone to have health insurance, but government-approved insurance distorts the market and raises prices. Fortunately, some medical clinics don't take health insurance. We went to check one of these places out. SLACKTIVISM: By now, we've all heard of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Lots of people did that and posted it to their Facebook pages. The Ice Bucket Challenge did raise a lot of money, but often people donated nothing. Sumpto.com founder Ben Kosinski calls that "Slacktivism." PRISON UNIVERSITY: 20 years ago President Clinton decided that taxpayers shouldn't be forced to fund college for prisoners through Pell grants. So a charity called Hudson Link stepped in to offer courses. Now it does a much better job than government. Prisoners who were previously uninspired now want to do well. MY TAKE: This is the season for giving. But let's not forget that the people who do the most for the poor are capitalists, honest ones, the majority who create things rather than feeding off government. They do more good for the world than government and the politicians who promise "public service". - General Complete name : Stossel.2014.12.18.Charity.WS.SDTV.x264-XAiO.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media Codec ID : isom File size : 351 MiB Duration : 41mn 7s Overall bit rate : 1 193 Kbps Writing application : Lavf54.63.104 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High@L3 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 4 frames Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Duration : 41mn 6s Bit rate : 1 054 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 404 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 29.970 fps Minimum frame rate : 9.990 fps Maximum frame rate : 29.970 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.121 Stream size : 310 MiB (88%) Writing library : x264 core 123 r2189 35cf912 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=3 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=hex / subme=7 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=6 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=40 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=1054 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00 Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : LC Codec ID : 40 Duration : 41mn 7s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 128 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 37.6 MiB (11%) Language : unk
