Welfare Is Forced Charity
Forced giving is nothing but charity as a tax. If you cut off welfare those people will go back to work. They’ll go to the churches for pantry items and foodstuffs. Where would that place the taxpayer? All that money we’ve been spending to give government handouts would cease. We’d spend that money for better uses. Without being forced to pay for people to not work, we’d give voluntarily out of the goodness of our hearts. Welfare would have to come from those who want to support it.
The only reason to keep it going is because those who want to support it want those who don’t want to support it to support it. They want to be the champion of social causes among society’s marginalized. They would no long-er be the party of compassion if welfare were ended.
