Many years ago, When Clinton was in office, I was asked by my business partners in Taiwan to explain welfare in the USA. All had been to school in the USA and had a hard time wrapping their head around it.

After explaining it I was asked "What about their parents? Why did they not take care of them? Friend? Neighbors?

When I explained that they did not help They looked at me and said " In Taiwan if your Family, Friend and Neighbors don't want to help you then you are not worth it and should die."
