I wasn’t thinking of it on a State vs. Federal level.

Nor even a State vs. person level.

But rather at a “society” level.

Good, able-bodied people, should take care of those in need, as a matter of Judeo-Christian ethics.

I fully concur the level of government involvement should be minimized and pushed to the most local level possible.
