Why do we help people under capitalism?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tax breaks. But the amount of money shielded from taxation is much more important then any incidental "help" that occurs. Same with non-profits or other foundations.

Oh. I'm not fancy enough to itemize so I'm not sure why that would incentivize helping others.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't, that's the point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I help others because it's the right thing to do.

That's great if the help someone needs can be addressed by an individual. What happens if it requires a society like say growing enough food for a village? Or for something more germane, how do you help homeless people under Capitalism?

I guess we work together as we're ethically obligated to?
