    Why do we help people under capitalism?

      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.

            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?
