Joe,
There are tens of thousands of homeless people in Australia. Most estimates put the figure in the hundreds of thousands so what exactly does that mean that you haven't seen even one begging for change?
I'm very surprised that you saw a homeless person in Stuart. I used to visit Stuart quite frequently as I live in South Florida and my ex's parents lived there. It's pretty much a sleepy retirement community. Are your grandparents there or something? I never saw a homeless person there in my dozen or so trips.
Ultimately, you are asking the question of what kind of society you want to live in. I've travelled to close to a dozen countries now (not a lot by some standards). What I've seen is variation but I've never seen anything which I might consider superior (except maybe Monaco ;-) )
I prefer the social ethic here to anything I've ever seen elsewhere (again, except maybe Monaco). Again, the question is what kind of society do I want to live in? I can live anywhere in the world. I choose here.
