The Underdog?

Where is the drive to truly fight for the underdog in American Society today? Why must we insist on only giving government handouts? Instead, why not teach each other that to truly help our fellow man, we must do it ourselves. We cannot and should not rely on the government to assist those in need. It is our responsibility through charity organizations, local support groups, and churches to ensure that no one is left wanting.

When we rely on the government to give sole support to those in need in our society we only perpetuate the problem and create generations of men and women unwilling and ultimately unable to help themselves or actually seek paths which will help them in their time of need but also show them a way out of the cycle of dependence and despondency that is created by reliance on government handouts to survive.

We in this country used to strive to assist all of our neighbors in their times of need and grief. Now we do not so much anyore because 'the government' will do it. This attitude must be changed or our nation will be fundamentally altered from the one which was intended and set forth by our founders mor than two centuries ago.
