As one of those [slightly] left-leaning members (that missed out on all the lefty-righty fun in the other thread
), I'll say it's obviously impossible for an individual to help the masses (unless you're Bill Gates or something), but I help the people who can't help themselves where I can.
Last payday I spread fifty quid out between 3 homeless chaps after having a good chat with a couple of them. Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of helping the parasites - the people who COULD go out and work but CHOOSE not to. But I have a lot of sympathy for people on the streets out of no fault of their own due to family deaths, thrown out by family/friends/spouses, redundancies etc.
I don't begrudge anyone going on benefits, although I do find it irksome to hear of the households where nobody has had a job taking tens of thousands a year from our taxes because they've made a job out of popping out the next generation of scumbags.
