In theory, Johnny "If ignorance is" Bliss is correct. The problem is that the line of pride has already been crossed in our entitlement society. To a certain point, people with pride will refuse government handouts, and provide what they have. When the line is crossed, even those with pride realize that having pride only gets you fucked in this game while shit fucks are either robbing you blind, or playing the game wisely. In that instance, those with pride play the game until it eventually collapses.
All within fair play, until you find a reason to defend the game itself. Then you're a shitbag pile of nigger.
