What is your opinion on people who live and survive solely on welfare?

It's not really their fault.

We don't blame gays, depressed, addicted or others for their lifestyles, as long as they are within their means and legal norms.

But on the flip side, welfare addicts are the perfect democratic consumer. They tend to spend 100% of their welfare on local and taxable goods, take on debt, and works that others will not.

Unlike billionaires. Who spend thousands to avoid paying millions in taxes, accrue debts that rob communities, and shut down local competition and national opposition rivals.

This is bullshit. Complete and total bullshit. Wellfare survivors can’t spend any money because they don’t have any money. Taxpayers spend money on whatever dumb shit the welfare sluts wanna buy, usually beer and cigarettes.

They probably have a disability?

Some of these programs also disincentivze rehabilitation where it might be possible, by doing things like disproportionately removing benefits for people who do try to work part time or study into a job they could do dispite their challenges.

Other people are trapped in a kind of spiritual prison of hopelessness where these funds allow them to exist but only just and so they fall from whatever potential they may once have had.

It's important to make sure these programs provide bridges out and don't penalize people who try to better themselves even if they stumble in doing so.

Welfare is a good thing when there are kids involved. Other than that, people should have to work.

I was at a large shopping mall, and three guys were holding up signs asking for money.

Nearby there was a cute little girl selling lemonade. The line of cars waiting to buy lemonade was a mile long. lol

Unless they physically cannot work or do a side hustle, then I deem them weak and pathetic parasites.

If they truly can not work then they should be collecting disability. I understand people fall on hard times and they have to collect welfare. They should do their best to better their lives and get off it.
If they are collecting welfare and they have the newest I phone, drive an expensive car and wear lots of gold and diamonds, I have a big problem with that

Seriously disabled or elderly then fine; it's there safety net and we as a society should care for those in need.

Young and healthy should be kicked off ASAP.

Sure just don't forget that many illnesses aren't readily apparent at first glance.

You can be young and fit looking but be dying of kidney failure and diabetes.

Oddly some people look like shit but feel fine. Life's weird man.
