Saying I’ve heard: “When I gave to the poor, they called me a saint but when I asked why are they poor, they called me a Communist.” I think its origins are in Latin America but I’ve always liked that since it’s true. Outside hardcore Ayn Rand fans, people who give to the poor are lauded but if you ask why income disaprites exist, you get labeled with the “S” or “”C word.

On that point, someone else once said that charity is a wonderful thing, but it’s no substitute for GDP.
