The taxes levied on you for that support is not voluntarily given, it is your uniformly shared responsibility under the law. We have administrators appointed to oversee that the ones receiving it are qualified by the laws you elected legislators to make, and you have the freedom to examine them for their performance in executing their function. Beyond that, it is none of your business.

I just said it was, and the method and people accountable to you for it are the local welfare organization and its administrators. The people responsible for it are your elected officials.

The local recipients are not within your responsibility nor scope of investigation, and they are not accountable to you. Snooping into other citizens' individual privacy is not your business.

When you have earned your own keep, paid your own tax burden for the benefits you've received, participated in local politics, voted, and stayed within the law, you've done everything you need to do to be able to attend to your own business and keep your nose out of others'. IMHO.

Offering your opinion on FR is, as it is to me, a privilege. Go right ahead. The privilege is free, but the forum is not without cost.
