Not really, this a major misunderstanding of Darwin, and of "evolution": I think that Calvin is a little closer on this, and Spencer is a lot closer. The "benefit" system has been around a long time, from the Elizabethan Poor Laws, and probably even before that.
To view a social safety net in this way is Thatcherism. (Attilla the Hen was not a rascist; she hated the poor, whatever color they were.)
