Go for the throats of the fat thieves.

review of Roosevelt's second term.)
Then return to our instinctive ?

unfortunate and suffering.
best hopes for a new paradigm!

The easiest way to create compassion is to localize.
The village idiot
The town drunk
These may sound like cruel phrases to us but actually these people who are losers if you will for one reason or another are still considered part of the community. If you localize you actually know these people as people and what there problems are and you can give them the right amount of tough love. Anonymity is the biggest problem.
Jesus said the poor will always be with you but the saddest part is now in the US you don't even know their names.

Well said, here in NZ our state agencies are scarily Orwellian, we have WINZ (Work and Income NZ) which administers unemployment, sickness, disability etc benefits) and they have 'clients', named such that even though you are living on the benefice of the state you feel no personal obligation.
Even when dealing with the IRD (Inland Revenue) we are referred to as 'clients', which I object to, I am a citizen and a taxpayer, and as part of society these are my obligations, I am not a 'client' which would imply free choice.
