So, welfare mom with five kids gets my bucks. She gets to live in a real dwelling, and the kids get to attend a school for more than a week at a time, and they are well-nourished while doing so. They are off the streets, not committing crimes, to my benefit. They become more attuned to a productive life, to my benefit ('cuz maybe I won't have to support THEIR kids). They get trained and go out and work, contributing taxes and productivity, to my general benefit.
It's no bright-line thing. It's never "she got the money, and so she was the ONLY beneficiary of my largesse."

If you decided this was really a benefit to you, you could certainly volunteer to make this payment, and I'm sure many others would join you. Hell, I might even kick in a few bucks for the right person. But why should it be cohersive?
