I have no problem supporting those that truly can not support themselves due to mental or physical disability...but..if you are able bodied? Hell No.
Not with my tax money. If charity wishes to help, fine by me. But don't take from my hard work.
As John Smith said : "Those who do not work, do not eat."

But it works both ways, in small towns, people tend to help each other because they know eachother. Not so much in the big city.
So what you are saying is Big City = Liberal Utopia = Not giving a damned about each other

That's probably true, but it's not 'both ways'. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. One is the government, the other is 'the people'. Isn't that precisely the articulated difference between r and d on the issue?
I'd argue that far more charity dollars and services exist in big cities... even per capita... but also far more corruption/waste because of the size of the operations.

that's a perfect extrapolated comparative analogy....
