I disagree. I think that everyone should have a safety net. I like the western European model. We are the only industrialized nation in the world not to have national health insurance, for example. I like societies where everyone has enough food to eat so that children are not malnourished (about thirty percent of American school children go hungry). It is impossible to learn when you are hungry. Children are innocent and have no control over who their parents are and whether they are competent and affluent. A society where everyone has their basic needs met so they can thrive and therefore contribute is a healthier society than one in which rugged individualism is the governing principle.
