Bribing people is a good way to get their vote.England had charities before the US broke free. After the break the states were responsible for feeding the poor, and we had work farms and charity.
During the Great Depression the states could not handle the mass feeding of the poor and FDR had the national government take over much of the charitable work of the nation. And it is only one reason FDR was elected four times and historians named FDR best president.
