It's fucking called prevension.

These kinds of expenses has two reasons behind them :

  1. It's the kind thing to do, to provide food for hungry children and orphans and the needy
  2. It's CHEAPER to give these fucking people the basic necesary things, because if you don't, then they will steal it, and now you have to pay for bread, AND a broken window, AND the fucking jail for them.

I've been saying for years now, you can pay for police and jails or you can pay for social assistance and schools, but one way or another, you will pay.

I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people deeply resent supporting society, and would rather have a solution that makes poor people suffer more.

Yes, but it's worth it to make them say it out loud, rather than letting them hide behind excuses like fiscal responsibility or the economy.
