>>I think that it is our responsibility as citizens to be prepared in the case of emergencies, be frugal and save up against rainy days, and to give what support to our neighbors that we can.<<

I think that's a good ideal. In practical reality, it's harder to achieve in areas where people don't have any spare income for emergency supplies. Frugality is a vital skill, but it's not much use when there's not enough money to meet even minimal needs. So there needs to be a way to compensate for that.
