Though I agree with most of this statement- I can’t help but feel there needs to be welfare support for those who have been negatively affected from the current theft based system. To simply “fix” this system, and allow the underprivileged to suffer from the inevitable fallout and collateral damage of the unraveling, would be unethical. Through no fault of their own, people have been stolen from , and to leave them to deal with this reality is not the right way to go.

You want to help people then help them. But coercively funded programs are the root of most problems. Removing licensing & restrictions & the theft that destroys upward mobility is the first step. People being "generous" with other people's money need to be recognized & treated like the criminals they are if we want a better world.
Irrational feelings divorced from economic realities are a large part of the problem. You cannot reduce scarcity by confiscating the rewards of productivity from people who produce. You can only exacerbate the problem by destroying the desire to be productive. The way to reduce poverty is to make it easier to be productive. Handouts, when they aren't destructive, generally achieve very little.
Tom's Shoes actually destroyed shoe maker businesses in many African communities by handing out shoes. Even private charity can do more harm than good. We are a trading species, "altruism" is generally retarded.
Why is it acceptable to rob Peter to pay Paul? What if Peter has a family to feed and a sick wife? What if Paul is a piece of shit alcoholoc who never worked a day in his life?
I think that everything resets anyway, every 100 years or so (life insurance, etc.) We already have enough charity and "systems". To stop the real steal is enough. As long as we correctly identify stealing at ALL levels and prevent accumulated wealth from disadvantaging those who are rebuilding, it is enough. There can be NO reset if we keep on churning through economic carcasses like a drillbit to hell... There will always be a rebasement, but the new base must be fair and not the next rung down toward hades but rather the next step up on the stairway to heaven...
