The third world doesn't have food stamps, section 8 housing, and free medical care to prop up all of the poor and unproductive in their countries.

That bastion of 'conservative' "thought". I doubt whether any of those jackanapes would even piss on you if you were on fire and it was Christmas. The America they foster would be a mean and niggardly America full of wretched, angry people - much like South Africa. Bane: I challenge you to look at poverty in your area. Go door to door (I went as a missionary - yes we need these even here) and see what it is really like to be in poverty in America, as I have. It is very easy to criticize what you do not understand, how poverty truly effects people. What sort of place is America? Do we lift one another up, knowing we are, really, in this together, or do we measure the value of a human, through our own prejudices, before we offer to help? Having been a boy scout I learned early on to 'leave it better than you found it'. That is my America. It seems the sensible and right thing to do. Always. Ah, the Heritage Foundation!
