What have the politicians really done to fight poverty?

Social and political criticisms

My brother who ran for mayor made his slogan on the idea that he can fight poverty (just like PNOY and Erap).  He must have made a big mistake.  You can can not run a government, even an LGU on the basis of socialism or dole outs.  Somebody has to pay the bill.  There must be revenues and taxes.

Even Pacman who has billions.  Can he keep on giving away his hard earned dollars from boxing (they are hard earned and painful too;  they hurt.)

It is an old issue on business policy that it is better to teach man how to fish rather than giving him fish to live just for the day.  And lately the social entreps are shouting, revolutionalize  the fishing industry.

Isnt be better to be pro prosperity or progress rather than to be socialistic?

What do you think?
