“If you can make more on welfare, then it is absolutely logical and conservative to take that choice too.”
This is not a conservative argument. This is a liberal argument.
For a conservative, self-sufficiency overrides convenience and ease. I find it very concerning that you are seriously advocating that it is “conservative” to take welfare and deriding those who are choosing a more self-sufficient route.
The conservative argument is to take the most rewarding route
...which would, under no circumstances be “take the government handout”.
What you are suggesting is that it’s better to be supported by people who are actually working than to take a job which has a base salary lower than minimum wage.
That is not a conservative proposition.
