I believe the U.S. have a “final safety net” for those truly incapable of fending for themselves. But it should be a net, not a freaking trampoline! Divorcing benefits from the ability to get off welfare and an honest sense of pride in doing an honest day’s work is one of the most debilitating things the government can do to a human being.

Why is this the responsibility of the All Powerful State?

This was done quite well and efficiently by private charities before the government muscled its way into the sector, shoved the charities motivated by kindness aside and displaced them in large part by heartless rules and Byzantine bureaucracy.

Money freely donated to help the unable is charity.

Money seized at the point of a gun backed by the full force of draconian IRS agents to support the unwilling is not charity.

Yet many people when asked to donate by a charity, shrug and say no under the grounds that they are already 'doing their part' because they pay taxes to pay for the welfare safety net hammock...
