    Your meme specifies: In a truly free market, voluntary charity would help the poor - indeed that’s a fact.

    The poor are the product of the free market operating. The free market is what’s creating the problem in the first place.

    So you’re saying philanthropists cause cancer in children? And that’s why they donate to children’s cancer hospitals…?
