There was no welfare program in the scriptures. A farmer was to leave the corners of his field and if the poor wanted to eat they had to go out and get the wheat. Now you can't get them to go to the public welfare office to get the bennies.

Giving to the poor is supposed to be willing and without duress, not government mandated.
