I'm gonna tell you what a hieromonk told me during a sermon during my spiritual pilgrimage and I was out in the East. This is my basic summation of it.
>When it comes to charity, always have at least a spare dollar in your pocket for anyone that needs it and give it freely to anyone that asks for it. Even if you suspect them of using it for drugs or alcohol, give it to them anyway. Assume that they will use it for good, and if they don't that is on them not you. For you never know, maybe they really do need it for food or something important.
From my own personal experience, I can tell you I am thankful for the charity of strangers. In Chicago I was a dollar short for my train ticket out of the city. I went to multiple people asking for only a quarter. On my 4th person when I thought all hope was lost, a grumpy looking man gave me a whole dollar even though I only asked for a quarter. He didn't preach at me or anything. He only asked that I help someone when they are in need with money when it is my turn to help. This way before I even came back to Christ.
The point I'm trying to make is true charity is giving them the benefit of the doubt and helping them even if you have doubts about them as a person.
As for state welfare, it what happens when you divorce the church from the state (thanks luther, very cool) and the state has to take up the mantle of charity. It becomes a vicious cycle of dependency on the state which raises taxes which causws people to become dependent on state help which will result in more taxes, etc etc.
Political tangent aside, if you want to know how to kill the "tigger" in a person, you give them the authentic faith and preach the Gospel. Pray will give them order to their chaotic lives. Charity will soften their hard hearts. Love will quench their anger. Your kindness will help them be free from their ignorance so they can think for themselves and encourage them to start families so they can break the cycle of hate and abandonment too many youths are thrown into in our troubled society.
TL;DR
You don't solve the tigger question by acting like a tigger yourself. For the true final solution to the tigger question (much like the Jewish one) is to convert them and turn them into authentic Christians. Only then will they be free from their ignorance.
