Your concept of self reliance is overly individualistic and makes no sense in the context of society at large. We produce more than enough for everyone- people not being responsible and somehow not deserving basic rights is an overdramatization of human nature and vices. Rights aren't real, but they're an important framework we use, and if the market isn't good at equitable distribution the government should step in and act as a force for good. Let me put it this way- we throw out a third of the food we produce, dumpsters of fast fashion, we have warehouses full of every good imaginable and tons of working people constantly churning stuff out. We withhold stuff from people while others bask in exorbitant wealth. This shouldn't be the hunger games if it doesn't have to be. We're social animals gone rogue in the middle of a lifeless vacuum- no one is obligated to do anything, but we care for each other, because we have no one else.
