Welfare

This is the problem with the welfare state.

I would say a society is judged on how it treats it's most vulnerable and disadvantaged TI.

Lol

I don't like how the vid focused on only black people. I know many more entitled, young, white girls who are looking for handouts. Some of them get pregnant on purpose so they can go on better welfare. 😐

But what happens if everyone is guaranteed a living wage of $25,000 a year, $50,000 for married couples? Believe it or not, the guaranteed living wage idea is a libertarian idea and it has been successfully tested. So what happens if we replace welfare with the guaranteed living wage idea? The details of that system have a person using a "graduated" reduction in benefits, depending on how much money you make. Some have suggested locality pay (so it would be less than 25K in Arkansas but much more in Hawaii, for example) adjustments to this minimum living wage idea.

You shouldn't judge the Welfare system solely on those that abuse it, there are people that actually need it

Because there are bad people in a system doesn't mean that every person in said system is bad.

Exactly. Seeking government aid is far better than going out and committing crime to make ends meet. At least that person is trying to stay afloat.

Thats the point, the system is ****ed and liberals have done nothing to change it. All they have done is make it worse. Now add in amnesty executive order 2014 and it's only going to make it worse.

How about getting a job like a normal person.

Did you mean to use "don't" both of those times there?

So conservatives have no responsibility creating this ****ed system

As DDM mentioned earlier it was because of the liberals. They brought about the guaranteed wage. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness does not mean . Sit on my ass and get the government to take care of me.

I will admit there are some who are lazy and abuse the system. What do you suggest be done?

Cut it off. Make people get jobs. It's really that simple.

And the people who are physically and/or mentally not capable of working who are on welfare?
