- If your job sucks, and you make minimum wage, I would encourage you to find a new profession or "better job". If you have 13 children you need to feed, I would like to suggest that you stop fucking, and invest in condoms. Your 13 children should also be working 5-9pm and making A+s in school so that they may better your situation.
- I love ALL people.... we are all created equal. BUT, if you have a sign on the street that reads "homeless, anything helps" not only do I not feel sorry for you, but I will give you nothing as you probably make more in an hour of panhandling than I do. Especially since you are ripped, and up at 6am. (ripped+up at 6am=JOB)
- Capitalism and wealth are common in a "democracy". If you are poor, study harder go to school, aspire to be richer, and make a name for yourself. If you do not, I do not feel bad for you.

In theory, I would agree with this ideology. Most people
initially would. We all have our own self-interests in mind. That alone doesn't make you greedy. It's natural to want to take care of yourself and your family before taking care of strangers. And it's natural to be upset when you think that you are being asked to support someone who is not 'contributing their fair share'.
But it's a 'utopian' view to imagine that these people will just passively consent to those rules. The Darwinistic social theory does not take human nature into account. These people will not just go away. Those not having their needs met, for whatever reason - legitimate or not (even if they're just "stupid" or "lazy"), will become increasingly desperate. If they feel desperate enough, hopeless, alone .. then the charade of civilization is shed. They will rob you to get what (they think) they need, they will kill you to get what (they think) they need, and they will be destructive simply to express their rage.
That's reality. It's not nice, but human nature has been this way throughout all of human history. If you don't take this reality into consideration when you are financing a society, then you will pay for it in harder terms.
Social welfare is a bribe. It's an attempt to passify those most likely to disrupt society. It's distasteful, but neccessary if you want to to live in a safe country.
Ultimately this is why countries with free health care and a generous social safety net have such lower crime rates.
