No one wants to say it, but deep down we're thinking, the family is poor but they could feed their kid if they worked hard, they are just lazy, and they likely dropped that bad genetic material to the kid, so the kid will grow up to be lazy and stupid, and if we don't feed the kid maybe he will die or at least not pass on his genetic material.

Agreed. You give them the opportunity to take advantage of a handout, they will allocate their use of money elsewhere. All too often people think that they are deserved luxuries such as cable TV, internet, cell phones. When in any capacity you can do without if you really wanted to be independent. It just doesn't happen, and there is enough proof to show that handouts do nothing but enable people to be leeches.

At one point in history churches picked up this slack, that's why they got tax exemption. Churches do all of fuck-all now.

At one point years ago I used to think "we have the technology and ability to make heaven on earth, no one needs to go hungry, if we withold from the poor because of our own moral judgement it is needless and evil"

Years later I changed my mind. We should make it hard on people so that they rise up and work hard, that is the morally right thing to do, although it sounds bad and no one wants to say it. It sounds Ebenezer Scrooge-ish. It's kind of like what nazis would say or it is similar to eugenics and those things got a lot of bad press to say the least so if anyone says it out loud they will be unpersoned.

You are right, I'm with you on this.

There is only one perfect society, the utopia is communism MINUS human nature.

Until we eliminate our humanity within us, capitalism the best government ever tried. If there was a better way, I'd be the first in line.

society will never be perfect but that can't mean we don't try to improve it
