You said this much more eloquently than I could have.
Poverty doesn't exist because we can't feed the poor, it exists because the poor cannot feed themselves. And I'm not necessarily blaming the poor for that, we live in an economic system where it's difficult to get out of poverty. It didn't used to be that way.
Government both disincentivizes the general population from helping them, and also squanders the money they steal from us in the name of "helping" the poor.
