I don’t see how the two concepts are connected except in that giving people food and shelter (which is taken from the hard working mouths of those who actually labored to produce) tends to cause all folk to do even less for themselves.

I am of the same opinion on theses matters as Benjamin Franklin, the best way to help the poor is to do less for them and thus compel them to do more for themselves.
