It may be impersonal but it's a system that keeps people who would otherwise be on the streets or without food housed and fed. To take away the only things that allow people to live a decent life is, in my opinion, lacking compassion for those people.
Sure, welfare is abused by some, but it also is pretty much the only way many many people can live lives of a decent standard.
@Mafoo. Taxation isn't theft. Also I feel no need to uphold your constitution, therefore any understanding of its meaning wouldn't change my opinion.
