Quote: To me 'need' equals "Can't provide for themselves" not "Won't provide for themselves".

I understood that,and have some problems with the notion: 'won't' is a moral judgment and very hard to define in law,(the basis of government welfare) and virtually impossible to administer with any consistency.

I also disagree.My definition of need is 'being without'.Period.

As I said,we agree to differ,again.
