Examples, please.
Oh, erm, lets see... The huge amounts of poverty acroos the world? The AIDS epidemic in Africa? over 60 million Americans without healthcare? The fact that oil-wars claim the lives of hundreds every month? Corporate-backed fascist dictators?
If you're unaware of this stuff, you need to open you eyes. As my sig' explains.

Yes, actually, I am. It is a crime to put your own needs above those of the less fortuanate.
I was starting to type out a retort for this, but I can't even begin to take this seriously. That kind of thinking is where Soviet Russia came from, and anyone who considers THAT a moral idea deserves the consequences.
Actually, that is indeed the sort of thinking Soviet Russia came from, and is the kind of thinking I agree with. But that kind of thinking ended in 1924, when Stalin drove out the Leninists like Trotsky. Then Russia became a totalitarian dictatorship, communist in name only. (If you don't understand, read 1984 by George Orwell).
And, before you go on an anti-marxist rant, consider this: the literacy rate in Cuba is higher than that in the US. The infant mortality rate in Havanah is lower than in Washington D.C. That shows something, doe it not? Castro has proportionatly more literate people in his nation than Bush, King of America, Emperor of the Free World. And that's comparing the USA to Cuba, a small island nation. Compare the US to one of the Scandinavian countires, then you'll see that capitalism doesn't work.

Real mature. Editing my words, so they look different.
And I included italics and said "fixed," to make it obvious that I changed it.
Yes, I know. it was still a waste of time.

Anyway, the disabled are given an unfair start in life. No-one's fault, but we should all help them if we can.
No one's fault, you say, but then you contradict that statement by laying blame on anyone "more fortunate" by stealing from them.
It's not theft. It's supporting your fellow human beings. Neandethals did it. So you can too. Anything is just wrong.

However, then liberals say it's perfectly okay to rob someone to build a road, or to give it to the poor.
Building roads is theft? So, what, everyone has to build their own roads? Or fly helicopters? How does that make sense?
And the amount of money that is 'stolen' from you to give to the poor is an insignificant fraction of how much is stolen from the poor, to finance the rich.
It seems you're not a standard conservative, but your not liberal either. You're a capitalist. Someone who puts themself before eveyone and everything else, giving up ideals, morales and ethics, in pursuit of wealth and power. Bravo.
