ok, w/o going too far off topic from Will's first post...in terms of social welfare...how do you view things like government funding (i.e. welfare) for people who are perminatlly disabled? the elderly? kids in state custody becuase of abusive parents? a woman who raised kids for 18 years and then had her husband walk out on her, the mentally insane, an at-home mom who had her husband die in 9/11 etc? All of these are people who normally get some form of social welfare. Under your view, how should society and government deal with these situations? |
i dont have a problem with any of those situations...I have a problem with welfare generations....except maybe the last one...the man's companies insurance should be responsible or he should have had life insurance...but if neither do and she meets the qualifications she should receive benefits so she can get back on her feet..... welfare should be used as a tool to lift people out of their hardship so they can a be productive member of society not a drain. If you are on welfare there should be more checks and balances then there are today..if you are not actively looking for a job you should be in school or learning a trade.... And it should be less all or nothing...the way it is today people collect welfare then get a job paying minimun wage they lose their benefits...it should be some sort of a scale....
