You're the one that's all goody-goody when it comes to helping out the
incompetent.
Seems you want it both ways.

[Krimel]
When you say that the government is 'wasting' money on incompetent moochers
you reveal a total misunderstanding of reality. There are no such programs.
Not one. The incompetent moochers you seem to refer to are children, the
disabled, the elderly who are disadvantaged not through lack of character
but by circumstance. Children do not choose to be born to parents who
neglect or abandon them. Children do not choose to be born with Down's
syndrome or fetal alcohol syndrome and few families no matter how well
intentioned or well provisioned can afford to take care of profoundly
retarded babies or those with serious birth defects.

Adults who are injured are stricken with a host of diseases and afflictions
that render them unemployable are not rendered so because they are moochers.
Wives who spend their lives nurturing their families are not moochers when
they or their husbands die or are disabled and can not longer pay their
bills.

You remind me of Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats:

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he
will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered
before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and
the goats on his left. 
 
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by
my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the
creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I
was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you
invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you
looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and
feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a
stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we
see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' 

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was
hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing
to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes
and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look
after me.' 

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' 

"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of
the least of these, you did not do for me.' 

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal
life."
