Actually, the government (ideally) takes care of people that, for many reasons, can't take care of themselves. It reaches out a hand to lift up people. Help them to get healthcare and a roof over their head. It gives them human dignity. Not everyone is 100% fit to work hard. Many wish that they were. Life is like the luck of the draw and not everyone comes out lucky. Some have at birth disadvantages that you and I would not be able to overcome no matter how hard we tried.
