Shouldn't everybody join hands to give the basic minimum - food, education and health - to the entire population?

People have to take control of their own lives. Education is key because it also raises other social indicators like healthcare.

Hunger, inadequate medical care, poor housing, and inferior schools are enemies of the sense of wonder. It is easier and less expensive in the long run to prevent a loss of imagination by providing adequate nutrition, housing, medical care, and schooling than it is to try to restore that loss.

No family should have to depend on the labor of its children to put food on the table and no person should be forced to work in captivity.

The logic is that when you provide schools or any social service to people, they have no choice. They have to take what you give them, because they don't have the money to pay for schools themselves; that's why you provide schools in the first place.

It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it, but that's not the world we live in.

The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.

We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.

There should be choice in healthcare.

If you don't want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food, you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights.
