I'd like to know the specific polls that show most Americans oppose social programs.  Somehow I doubt their veracity.

 Meanwhile, idiots like Rush Limbaugh claim that helping the poor does not make America great and that charity is a failed experiment throughout history.  I guess Rush isn't as smart as he claims.  Every anthropologist and archeologist knows that even the Neanderthals took care of their old and sick.

The idea that a human should enjoy food, while another hungers, makes the latter awfuly hungry.
