“...if you are a poor person...”
“Why are you poor?”
Exactly.
Yes, there are some seriously/legitimately/[however you want to describe it] poor. Encourage charity. Insofar as some fall thru the cracks, and there will be un-Constitutional pressure to do so, we may (considering other battles to fight) let the gov’t pitch in.
There are a great many who are poor because it has become a viable lifestyle choice. In the process of eradicating poverty by making it practically illegal, the gov’t is morally* obligated to support people who are not allowed functional poverty. Consequence is, if you’re OK with living at the poverty line (which many are), the gov’t will pay your way. Pretty luxurious actually. Sounds like a great budget line to trim or eviscerate.
* - if you’re going to do things wrong, you still need to mitigate the consequences. Better to do things right, but if you’re going to be stupid then at least be smart about it.
