I’ve said for many years that one solution to the welfare state is for the government to never, ever give money to individuals without something in return.

And that something in return should be for the taxpayers, and not the government.

For example, I'm saddled with a huge tax bill. I also have lots of personal stuff that needs to be done, such as mowing the lawn, washing my car, shoveling snow, etc. The folks on welfare should have to do something for the taxpayers since we are the ones footing the bill. Come mow my lawn to free up some of my time since I'm paying for your welfare.

And some people have been made poor BECAUSE of taxes.
