I swear you're better at expressing the same ideas than I am. That was precisely my point. Taking care of the poor and needy is the responsibility of the people, not the government. Especially when you consider how lean and streamlined and cost-effective the federal government is. -=cough=- Working for the government, I see a lot of the waste, mismanagement, and sweetheart deals going on. It makes me nauseous, but until the lawmakers decide to change things, all I can do is make sure MY little piece of the world is not wasteful.
