I mean I admire the bootstrap mentality.
Generally it's just good practice to live by, but I think sometimes we think we invented such a mentality and that no one else lives by it.
What's more it's easier to do the bootstraps when you could work in a factory for good money or college didn't require to sell your organs just to pay for books. It's too expensive these days for a lot of things.
Some times people do need help and welfare keeps them from dying in the streets or hospital beds at any rate. I'm worried about just dismantaling of such programs leaving a large amount of people to fend for themselves in some social darwinist nightmare.
