That is the juncture point where i think Conservatives versus Liberals provide a nice balance.
Conservatives can be compassionate but they lean a little more to the cynical side. Liberals can certainly be cynical but are more compassionate by nature/default.
There is a wide spectrum of those in this country who reach out for assistance. Some genuinely needy. Others more to the lazy side looking for handouts and easy pickings. For any large society it becomes a challenge to find a charitable/benevolent balance which is economically viable.
