It's expected to come by way of charitable donations, or just plain investing your own money privately, but there's certainly no guarantee in that.

It never has.
It's not designed to do so.
Charity isn't profitable.

Free market capitalism is about the freedom to use personal resources to help others and to expect to keep reward for doing so. The resources can be anything of value such as wealth, knowledge, time, ability, etc.. By welfare, I presume you are concerned first with the people who provide no value to anyone to obtain reward. The aged may fit that category, but they'd have reached that situation from a lifetime of indentured service and taxes to the state. In a free market, aged would have accumulated wealth (defined as the ability to accomplish something). The aged would be the most wealthy. People are generous when they are wealthy. Those that become poor would be helped from a multitude of wealthy individuals that wish to.

If you do not give me money free, I will remain poor.
Is that what you are suggesting? That's the only way out of poverty?
You know that's nonsense. So do we.
Enough socialism.
Time for them to get out of my party (Democratic) and go back to their own.

Welfare is money paid out of the general taxpayer fund, based solely on need. Social Security is an insurance people pay into trough payroll FICA taxes. Only people who paid into it, or their deceased spouse/parent paid into it, can collect it. Benefits are based on how much you paid into it over the years. Pretty much the same as any other insurance.
