yeah my helping hand is one that says get a job you slob and no more free food and housing, that is incentive for most people to work, when they have an empty feeling in their stomach, they will work. the old and disabled eccepted.

maybe all welfare should be like this. privately funded, and dependant on behavoir.

That's fine in a environment where a person at least spent formative years exposed to principles of responsible living.

In can also work well in an environment where such behavior is the exception rather than the norm.

For those who didn't grow up with such examples or, who are in environments surrounded by lousy examples, the bootstraps approach doesn't work well as such have paths of crime and delinquency that seem far easier and more natural to them.
