Can you prove that these people are on welfare of any kind?
And the solution to the problem is to end welfare not tell consenting adults who they can live with.
#1...Exactly how many anti-welfare threads have you posted, Lurker? (Or perhaps you could fill us in on all the anti-welfare activity you've done offline)
#2...Lurker, if you really want to start getting into the business of telling welfare recipients to get off welfare, aren't you breaking your staple pet doctrinnaire position of "Thou shalt mind thine own business?"
Aren't you guilty of breaking thine own commandment..? Aren't you minding the business of too many welfare recipients?
Aren't you supposed to be just sticking to your own business, per your own standard? (Or is that standard gone for good...gone with the wind because you couldn't abide by it?)
Hey, government officials are adults who have "consented" to give certain qualifying people welfare. These welfare recipients aren't children. They, too, have "consented" to receive those benefits.
Based upon your combo standards of "consenting adults" engaging in activity and "mind your own business" what are you doing in failing to restrain yourself in commenting on these activities?
Why are you judging behavior 'tween "consenting adults" and why is that your business if legal consenting-adult behavior is transacted 'tween parties? Shouldn't you just be "bugging out of it" by your own self-restraint per the worldviews you preach upon?
(Get a consistent life)

Do you know any polygamists or ex-polygamists? I do, several of them.
Every one I know who has escaped speaks of welfare fraud and that it isn’t consenting adults, at best it is spiritual blackmail at worst pedophelia. Get your head out of the sand, man. Look into it, talk to ex-polygamists (like Doris Hanson of Shield and Refuge or Flora Jessop). Read “Under the Banner of Heaven”. In short, shut up until you do your research.
I have seen the welfare fraud first hand, so have many others. Do you know that one of the founding reasons for the establishment of the GOP was to do away with polygamy? Even then they saw it for the evil it is.
For starters here are some articles...there are plenty more.
