Government does not equal society, it's just a facet of it.Nope.
I addressed a post which proposed the notion that if you withdrew the majority of welfare programes, people would either work or die and if they died, that's their fault... A proposal which has no basis in reality.
As I've said already, that's just not how a functioning society works and rightly so.
Before social welfare programs, we had churches, charities, families, and more hard workers. No one was starving to death, however, they may have been uncomfortable- which is a catalyst for change.
