Yes. I will not elaborate on the first part where we are in absolute
agreement.

I would only to add that "giving away scraps of food", as in any policy
which concentrates on re-distribution only without paying too much attention
to of the *production* of what is going to be distributed, does not really
do much for the overall  wealth of a given community.
