It’s not our responsibility to make up for your lack of income. Poverty sucks, but punishing the masses so you can feel good about “fair share” creates resentment and abandon.

Im poor. Can i skip on regulations that require me to have car that does not polute insane amounts, or for example insurance? By your idea, yes. Because im poor and just let me use anything i can to get by. Now we have multimilion company that says, "we are servicing the poor, so we shoul be allowed to skip on these expenses too" do you see where this is going?

In fact, we're talking about the company that did skip on insurance without even saying it, or asking for permission. It's Uber - one of the more sociopathic companies in recent history (all well documented). Not some charity.

It is society's responsibility to make up for its member's lack of income. That's what society is: people coming together in order to provide for the mutual good.
