What is Scientology's view on charity to the poor and disabled?

Here is a Church parisioner's opinion on that as posted in the Church's TNX e-list.

"I do not agree with a tax break for the handicapped person, as this is another method of rewarding the downstat. In my concept of the program, the person would not be eligible for any relief beyond re-training. Most people *want* to produce and contribute. If they don't, they should not expect to be subsidized by those who do. Standard bonuses and incentives for competent production would be sufficient."

This is close enough to policy to apply to your question.
