Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.
~Didn’t Jesus say they’ll always be with us?
~If you can’t make it in America, what’s your problem?
~They’re blessed already, don’t interfere with that.
~They’re ungrateful for any help you give them.
~If we really believe in freedom and capitalism, we would allow the poor to suffer the consequences of their choices just as we do for the wealthy.
~Don’t I have an obligation to be a good provider for my family?
~The poor are already more than taken care of by our government, and all those foreigners who are poor aren’t really my responsibility.
