That's the question posed by this article's author. It's the wrong question. What that author advocates is using the coercive force of the government to make others care for "our own." It requires that "we" do nothing but watch TV while the government does what "we" should be doing, only the government does it, and would do more of it, with typical government efficacy.
What the author really wants is complete abdication of responsibility for "our own." Why this impersonal, coercion based approach can wear a mantle of morality is astonishing.
