The principle of everyone helping each other is good and biblical.

It also predates Christianity. The principles of rape, slavery, ordained murder, and infanticide are also biblical.

Yeah, we see that in a lot of early societies. You don't get to stake a claim to it. And the Native Americans were doing that when Christians came in and slaughtered them.

This is the situation government programs always seem to create in that they take heavily from those who are responsible and give to those who are not, although I'm not saying that there are some who are legitimately in need at the time. There is no requirement to contribute to the system in order to benefit from it. As with Obamacare, some people are working less because they can do better by paying less for medical insurance or get it for free. Others who are working hard have lost the insurance they liked and are forced to pay more for inferior coverage. Then, as with medicare and social security, the system goes broke or continues to take more and more from people with personal responsibility, so society as a whole suffers.
