1) Tell me, how is helping the [the truly] handicapped hindering the human race to "achieve the next step in evolution"? A keyword you should reflect over is natural selection .
2) You are in favor of allocating money from the handicapped & elders to the poor? Please elaborate on how that would work - in particular the cause and effect.
Because their rotten genetics may end up mixed in at some point, if they are given the chance to breed.
I'm not really worried about the money thing, money in itself is a fairy tale all in its own...I'm talking about resources, shit these old people have to consume, all the resources used to make their medication and such. Well it would work simply by killing them off.....
You're not very well informed about natural selection and biology in general, are you? Three words I suggest you try to puzzle together are: (i) natural selection, (ii) incentives and (iii) probability.
In the system under which this world functions today, money isn't "a fairy tale".
Goods and services (including resources) are bought and sold with money. Thus the allocation of money is important.
You talk a lot about resources, what kind of resources are you so worried about? And what would be the effect on these resources if we were not to help the truly handicapped and the elders? (of course, we are not really "helping" the elders, they've paid taxes all their lives most of em')
