So, can anyone here argue that a nation using government run welfare to handle the poor and needy is a compassinate nation?  I am curious to see if anyone can argue this.

I don't think it has anything to do with compasion. Its like Squil said, investment in your people.

Its a level of Socialism...hence why a lot of American's are posting here with extremist right wing opinions. They don't like Socialism.

I think it's less about socialism... and more about it... not working.

The problem with Welfare, or at least the US Version is that is does nothing to get people ready to be in the workforce.

You just get money, and then if you don't get a job after a while...that's it.

There needs to be stuff like government training, and maybe making people work 20 hours a week for the government to get said welfare so they get used to working again, learn how to work in a work enviroment and also just build up work expiernece and confidence in actually being useful rather then just sitting at home.
