'Tis the season..

Looks like that eminent conservative publication, the National Review, has finally come out against charitable giving.

The author of the article discovers the roots of poverty and insights into the underclass via contact with one deadbeat mom and her children. Her conclusion? She wants her $5 back, she's pissed the deadbeat mom's children gave her children strep, and "as long as the neighborhood — the village — cared for them, her mother never would."

A true conservative; never does she once considering getting "big government" involved by calling child protective services, she pins the destructive behavior of the mom on the children, and she sure as hell gets sick of helping out the kids.
