If someone can't fend for themselves, regardless of how much money you give them, then they are beyond your help.

theres a difference in thinking national socialists shouldn't hold public credibility and stating that you want all poor people to die, jackass.

It's always interesting to see this libertarian frame of mind that everyone should be their own man and fend for themselves. Society functions because everyone is responsible for supporting it. This is why countries are able to go to war, have a working police system, health system, education, etc. If you want to live the 'i am my own responsibility' you'll probably be better off living in a tribe of anarchists.

You know every human being in your country probably costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to keep alive, yourself included. You're as much of a 'hole of resources' as everyone else. Every time you take public transportation, you cost everyone money. Every time you break your arm and need medical insurance to cover it, you just robbed every single person of a tiny amount of resources.
As a consumer and a cog in your society, you're just as useless and useful as the next person. If you wanted to remove every 'resource hole' in your country, you'd destroy it.

Why should I be responsible for other peoples forgetups? Why should I fund people who will never benefit me or society as a whole?

Except other people actually benefit the economy and pay for their own loving resources. They don't drag everyone else in society down with them.

School spending at large scales doesn't correlate because the signal is lost due to bureaucratic waste. But obviously a school that is terribly underfunded will do stufftier than a well-funded school on the basis that n-dollars has to be taken out of teachers and school programs at some point. You don't lose teachers and enrichment programs without hurting student achievement. Cutting the bureaucratic waste is fine, but cuts across the board hurt people. Mostly the poor.
