We should not provide support for people who are able to work. "we," at times, get too hard or too dispassionate, and say that there is no reason for welfare. But a humane society should have some provisions for truly needy cases.
That's what "charity" is for.
When money is confiscated from people (under the threat of imprisonment for non-compliance) for the purpose of giving it some other person, that is theft not compassion.
