What can I say to a socialist that says libertarians don't care about poor people?

Call him a moron. How did the Soviet Union help the poor? Made everyone poor.

That's exactly how we've been helping the poor in America, too, and now we'll be upping the efforts to make all the proles "equal". Equally poor, Equally disenfranchised, equally willing to fight wars for our state, equally dependent on the dole.

Universal Education and Health Care will leave us universally dumb and unhealthy. But "the poor" won't be at a disadvantage anymore...

I say let Obama do his worst. It'll only accelerate the revolt.
