Favors

That is not correct. It's not a poor concept. It is poor form though because the person who owes the favor should damned well know it. Favors are essentially time given or risked for someone else to enhance political standing. That's too valuable to piss away on everyone around you. If you extend an unreturned favor, consider it a loss leader and be more careful next time.

The thing this person is thinking of is "charity".

Disperse the poor.

I propose that anyone on public assistance be barred by law from living within a kilometer of anyone else on public assistance. That would minimize the number of people getting together to re-inforce their own world view that society owes them a living. For example, plant one or two families in the middle of an affluent suburban development -- give them something to shoot for. And a reason to pick up the trash on their lawns.
