But the vibe I often get in the Cellar is that money spent on the destitute is money spent on slackers who haven't worked as hard as those who are now comfortably off. So I assume helping those with moderate income is a halfway measure. It's - Look! These people really tried, but they still need help! Help them because they're not slackers, they're just unlucky!

Dunno, haven't seen the show. But I do feel that the American in general shies away from helping those with nothing. Not saying Brits would be any different (just try reading the Mail), but we don't have this kind of show so I can't compare.
