Alrighty then, let's address it;

Not counting youth or elderly, the number of people who can't work are vastly outnumbered by the number of people who, given a free ride, would not work.

A culture that motivates people to work can easily produce enough to give a free ride to those who can't work, whether that free ride is presented by government or by private charity.

A culture that does not motivate people to work, fails FIRST for people who can't work.

Charity in productive societies, whether public or private, is hundreds of times greater than in unproductive ones.
