What would happen to the poor in an Objectivist society?
Since Objectivism holds that laissez-faire capitalism is the only moral political system, there would be no welfare or government backed unemployment benefits, nor would there be any food stamps, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, etc. The poor would have to rely on charity, that is, on the genuine benevolence of those who wish to donate their time, money, and possessions to the poor. 5.
