You think families and people should be homeless/etc when born with severe mental disorders/deformation/etc? I think you'd feel real fucking differently about that shit if you or someone you loved were in that position.
Should people who are in accidents that cause brain damage simply be told "sucks bro" goodluck with your life, oh by the way here's your medical bill too.

If someone has brain damage from an accident is that automatically someone elses responsibility to pay for said accident? If a typhoon hits the phillipines should I be forced to pay for their welfare? or should it be left up to me whether I give a shit or not? If some slut made terrible life decisions and has an unwanted pregnancy, should I have to pay to have her child murdered in the womb?
" to each according to their own merits", is western civilizations most cherished philosophy, merits of ability,position,priviledge, and charitable inclination are for the individual to develop
You're imposing ethical constructs on everybody rather than allowing them to voluntarily be ethical.
Charity is what should be there for those folks that have real issues, 95% of people on welfare are a bunch of poor,lazy,assholes whose "underprivaledge" is the result of their terrible life decisions.
