Technically you are right.
However I think we should handle social inequality similar to the way we deal with "natural inequality". For this we developed modern medicine, which raises the bar for natural selection.
Everybody is thankful for medicine, because it could be beneficial for almost anyone. Social welfare is very similar to medicine in that sense, as it raises the selection bar.
However, our attitude towards welfare is different than to medicine, because the social status is directly visible, so everybody knows if he'd benefit from welfare. Unlike the "natural status", which is usually hidden and hardly inspectable.
