The government has no obligation beyond protecting the public. Caring for the poor is a societal matter, a moral obligation of the public. Referring to a law from Britain 200 years in the past, and the actions of progressive politicians as some sort of proof that it is the responsibility of the government is extremely flawed. The majority of conservatives don’t mind helping those that wish to help themselves, but this attitude that we cannot allow anyone to fail, while noble in its intent, is going to destroy us. Failure is the greatest motivation for success.
