Tell you what, DA, I'll take up your challenge at the $500 line. You'll have to throw in a round-trip ticket to Houston, of course (first-class, I have long legs).
I'll go to the nastiest neighborhood you can name, and not only distribute it, but try real hard to make sure it goes to those who can get the most benefit from that $500 worth of groceries. I'll go in completely unarmed, too, and come out with my wallet and watch.
I'll do it by finding one of the passionate, committed individuals who is working his/her ass off in there. It might be a minister of God, or a radical revolutionary. I guarantee you, it won't be anyone drawing a gov't paycheck. I could get a name and number with a couple of phone calls. You could probably get it from your local news
Welfare is not, and never will be, a solution to poverty. It is a safety net that a nation such as ours absolutely should have. Unfortunately, unintended consequences created a sub-culture which regard the system as a hammock by birthright.
The way out of poverty is to make good choices, and work your ass off. Real simple. Real hard. Find the individual in there who knows that, and is trying to teach.
