Abstract
Welfare programs for the poor may be justified in terms of compassion for the downtrodden or on the basis of a moral duty to help them. American liberalism since the New Deal has rejected the notion of welfare as charity and, instead, assumes that Americans accept a moral duty to help the poor. Professor Obler suggests that this assumption is probably incorrect, and that liberal efforts to generate support for welfare programs have therefore been less successful than they might otherwise have been.
