Entitlement programs are largely shown to be effective checks on poverty, and they're very inexpensive to the taxpayer. It's long past time we stopped believing the myths about poor people being lazy and started using our great wealth to improve the lives of those who suffer, particularly given the structural ways our society perpetuates poverty. There will always be inequality, but that doesn't mean those of us with means should not help those without.
