Yes.

>Never mind the circumstances that put him in his car in the first place. I want to know where personal responsibility comes into play in your world where the "poverty floor" is raised to a nice, comfortable level.

If we have the ability to provide it, at least modest shelter, food, health care, and education should be provided to people. "Personal responsibility" is important, but it means less to me than those things. What kind of "personal responsibility" does Paris Hilton have?
