The percentage of parents who are negligent parents is small and not relaged to the poor. The percentage of drinkers who are alcoholics is small and not relagated to the poor. Refusing to help anyone because a small percentage of them act in ways that richer Americans get a pass for is unethical.

The problem is the you will damage public perception and lose support for a program when you hand out cash to addicts and alcoholics.
