"In a rich country, why are poor people poor? Sometimes, it’s true, bad luck can strike, and a person may need help. But that’s what friends and neighbors are for. And if a person doesn’t have any friends, and his neighbors won’t help him, chances are he’s not worthy of help. Over a lifetime, most people get what they deserve. The fact is that most people who experience perennial bad luck simply have bad habits."

That's quite a thought-provoking opinion!

Interesting thoughts. Perhaps it isn't about what's best for the future but what is best in the now. The idea is to give a hand up, not a hand out.
