So many problems with what you've written ...
First, and get this out of the way, I know INTIMATELY what we're talking about here. I don't know how you grew up, but I grew up around subsidized housing, food stamps, school lunches, so this isn't some esoteric conversation for me, I know exactly what these kinds of "solutions" do to people. I've seen people in my everyday life who accept handouts, get free food, free housing, free health care, etc, and I know exactly how it affects them, the people around them, and the areas that they live in.
So ... that out of the way, you're SO WRONG imho when you say "No matter how hard they try, they will NEVER have a chance; they will never be able to live." .. that is such elitist urban thinking and SO MUCH THE PROBLEM that I don't even know where to start. In that one sentence you've said exactly what you think of poor people everywhere, you believe they can't make it on their own, you believe they are inept, are lazy, and god knows what.
I think if you are objective you will see that the people you are claiming to want to help are the very people who are voting against the ideas you are proposing. Why are they doing that, you think they're too stupid to know what's best for them ? Or could it be that they know exactly what is best for them and they think that handing out free stuff to people only causes their kids to have a poor work ethic, causes them to be dependent, lazy, etc, which are all character traits that their parents know will never help them in the long run ?
How would you feel if people in your family had gone around talking about how you could never make it, that you needed help to get ahead, that you wouldn't be able to do it on your own, that you didn't have the capabilities, and that you weren't smart enough to figure out a way to get ahead ? That you don't see that's exactly what you're telling other people with these solutions is .. astounding.
I was once chastised by a woman because I said "Have a nice weekend, driver" to a bus driver when I was getting off of a bus, she said ... how dare you call him driver and speak down to him in that way. I was like .. lady, I come from a long line of drivers, and that you think calling someone a driver is insulting says everything I need to know about you.
That's how I feel when I see you say "They are equal to everyone else, not beneath anybody anymore". Who in the world said poor folk WERE beneath anybody else ? You brought that to the conversation on your own, and again, that says everything I need to know about you and what you think about people who don't have that much money.
