Eli, I think that statement is directed to the people who are looting, raping, and murdering, and then sitting by and waiting for the government to fix everything.
I took what he was saying as, people who don't take advantage of the welfare system are the same people who are making an effort to restore order and help over come the disater. The people who do take advantage of the system, are the same people who are looting, shooting at rescue vehicals, raping surviving women, and jumping the doctors sent to the dome.
