| mrstickball said: Just remember....I talking about government welfare. Not ending charity wholesale. My argument is that government one-size-fits-all, top-down welfare is causing the problem, not helping the poor. Helping the poor needs to be done on an individual, private, case-by-case basis. If and when that happens, customized care can help those that are needy and are truly deserving of assistance, rather than the metric simply being set at a certain level of income multiplied by the number of children you have. If you put it in the hands of individuals and charities that can........*gasp* discriminate against abusers of the system, you will have less people popping kids out for welfare, which will correlate to lower birth rates, and other benefits to the system. |
A better solution would be to reinvent welfare, and concetrate on helping/training people to get jobs rather than giving them handouts.
