The people who are against helping the poor often complain that why should someone else get help when they are not getting help themselves. They see it as a handout, And that handouts are bad.
Trying to explain long-term goals to that kind of person is not possible. It needs to be marketed differently. How could we market helping the poor in a way that makes it sound like an immediate gain for the people who are not poor?
And it's such a stupid mentality too.
Every one of them got help in some way to reach where they are.
