    Have these random programs actually helped Americans?

    To my naive view, would America not he better served with a far more progressive tax system, in lieu of spending these large sums to foreign countries and various agencies that squander what could be given to the poor?

    In what world is giving the poor more money directly not he an effective means of raising their standard of living, which should be the main point of a progressive government?
