Excellent excellent observation

From the Master:

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all."
--Frédéric Bastiat

I have never had a problem with people getting a hand up in life - food, some money to get a car, stuff like that.

My complaint is that this needs to start at the grass-roots level with community groups, then maybe the city. Then maybe the individual state and only then, the federal government. The idea that the federal government can manage any number of interlinking agencies that hand out money to someone who claims poverty is just asking for gross negligence and inefficiency. We see it time and time again but we still keep doing it. Keeps the unelected bureaucrats in power.

They don't want anyone messing around with their rice bowl.
