I think we need to hold people to some standards. Let's assume that the
right to exist does require us to provide minimal support to all. Now,
take someone who takes their monthly check and spends it all on booze.
Should we give them a bigger check so that they can also pay their rent
and buy food?
Of course one way out of this dilema is to decide that when someone is
incompetent to manage their own life, that they may be forcibly placed
in some kind of care facility. Thus, instead of giving them a check, we
directly provide their housing and food (and other necessities). In
exchange, they lose some freedom.

I feel that if the land is distributed fairly to start with, and the
econimic system is fair, that one shouldn't need to re-distribute land.
