The US Conservatives do that too (maybe all do?). The rebranding of 'From Welfare to Volunteer'. Apparently it's NOT ok to empower people to have means to measures of independence. It IS OK to make them perpetually dependent upon the kindness and moods of someone else; from getting bathed to having a safety net. And if no one volunteers, then they're not good fringe society - they're bad cripples - no one loves them enough to care for them, therefore it's not society's fault.
