I think that in over 20 mass migrations in documented history 19 had a positive effect on the country where they have arrived. The only ones that had a negative effect where in Iran i think where they made a 5 million geto town that just saps resources and produces noting and is a hellhole for those that live behind those walls.
This is all from memory though so do feel free to check up on my statements.

Re: Conservative Cal Thomas (on a conservative site townhall.com) said this:
It all comes down to this, do you want the poor to suffer whitout helthcare or do you want to help them.
And do you believe a for profit health system has a snowball's chance in hell to care for those without money.
I personaly believe profit and healthcare should not mix, because the true profit is in long term care not in a fix, and such a system insentavises treating symptoms instead of the cause.

Everybody needs helthcare, everybody needs food. Why not make a grate public work and provide food and healthcare to every american.
You know make doctors like the american milirtary swarming in to unhealthy places giving everyone dental care and a checkup, and giant state farms that provide food for everybody for free.

Re: Robber Barons
The tithe is voluntary, you are not put in jail if you fail to give it. And in reality a lot more than the tithe is normally given by those who can afford it. Besides which, in many churches there is a separate fund collected to help impoverished church members. As well as separate funds to support various ministries such as the sevices given to women with unwanted pregnancies, and local food banks and so on.
Perhaps nowdays but in the good old days of the curch before this fad of non violance came arround, you had to pay taxes to the curch. and taxes to your lord. a tenth of everything you had, not just your profits had to go to the curch every year or you would go to debters prison or worse.

Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin for the tax.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...

The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.

So they asked him, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

Which of the two did the will of his father? They said, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.
Cmmon the romans invented christianity and made it mandatory to control peole, do you really think they would not make sure that taxes and anything an authority figure says are mandatory.

Re: Robber Barons
What I said was NOT mandatory for Christians is the tithe to the Church itself.
A tithe is a 10 % tax on everything, its in the bible since abraham, and it is mandatory, if you read the bible that is, if you just make shit up sure its not.

Re: Socialism
Well duh, you dont have billions of dollars if you think you have enough. But socialism is good for the rich too. If money is not returned back to the botom of the wealth pyramid sooner or later the botom runs out of money they cant buy anything those above them sell so the rich go bankrupt. The other option is to print more money and giving it to the poor, but that devalues the currency meaning the rich loose out again. Or you can tax the rich and return it to the botom of the pyramid.
Sure you could make a decent wage mandatory and return the money to the bottom that way. Then you could have the same taxes across the board, and cut socialist programs, and have a stable economy. But good luck trying to get the wealthy to give up some of their profits, on wages for the working class, they prefer the system you have now., where the collective whole chips in for those bottom feeders, and not the ones exploiting them.

take care of the poor
Minimum personal income.
improve health care
medicare for all would be the best choice for america right now. Socialist healthcare programs always outdo pay to play ones.
Given that profit motive lies in long term care the whole healthcare program from research to care would be better of without a profit motive. if you want to improve it further afterwards.
stimulate the poor to get unpoor
Access to free education is the best way to get about doing that.
while not killing the incentives to create wealth
Yea because if a rich person sees a poor man getting free helathcare he will loose al motive to gather piles and piles of money on his bank account.
as well as invention
the reason communist systems are lacking in innovations are because in some cases innovation was/is actively discouraged so people would have jobs.
and generosity by the wealthy, and paying down the deficit.
Gewt rid of the trump tax cuts for a starter. Stop throwing more then the next 13 countries combined in to the military would help as welll. As for the generosity of the rich, the story of Jesus and the old woman with 2 dimes comes to mind.
