Herein lies a problem with society as a whole today......there are those who think that the government needs to take care of us because we have "rights" to certain things and then those who are to proud to "accept charity".
Oddly, both of these attitudes are bred from the same notion. By fostering the idea that "Uncle Sam" will take care of us the truly charitable acts become less and less noticeable as time goes by. Eventually true charity is viewed as something dirty so therefore those who have traditionally stood on their own won't accept it. As well the knowledge that there is help for the asking WITHOUT government intervention becomes pushed into obscurity.
This man may not even have known that such charitable care even existed.
