Ravenclaw Eric's Post About Scrooge Got Me To Thinking

Welfare.

It should not provide luxuries. Basic food, shelter and nothing else.

"But the poor have a right to be comfortable too!" I will not disagree. And they are free to get a job and garner those luxuries.

Someone on welfare should not be living better than someone paying taxes. Full stop.

Welfare should be something you want to get off of because working is better, not take a lifestyle hit because you got a job. A job should be a step up from welfare, not down.

Of course, the people we kick off welfare are sure going to vote against us next time, so we should make sure it's an amendment or something equally hard to repeal.
