Scientifically there's an overwhelming amount of evidence that tells us the benefits of strong public welfare far outweigh any negatives.
Social liberal welfare states typically have the highest life expectancy in the world, the lowest child mortality rates in the world, the healthiest citizens in the world, the highest social mobility rates in the world, the lowest murder rates in the world, the lowest illiteracy levels in the world, the lowest pollution levels in the world, the highest levels of political stability in the world, the highest worker efficiency in the world, and the highest GDP per capita in the world.
The UN Human Development Index is completely dominated by Social liberal welfare states:

One might argue against the welfare state using moral/religious arguments. But claiming that public welfare is bad for society purely from a socio-economical point of view, is ignorant at best.
