Where I was actually going with this is - if we have a duty to help the poor, does that then translate into a right to that help for the poor? In other words, does a poor person have the right to have his basic material needs met by someone else?
The poor have a right to basic material needs. Many cannot work for a variety of reasons.
No one has a "right" in this sense; you mean, I think, that it's the duty of others to show charity to them.
