Of course... i'd actually argue there is nothing hypocritical in being against welfare... even if you receive it.
It's just be stupid NOT to. After all, that money is spent anyway, if you don't take it, it will just be given to someone else.
It's the same reason it's stupid for anti-spending congressmen to not get any pork projects. That money is going to be spent anyway... why punish your people short term, because they're responsible? Best Case scenario, eventually you get majorities to stop wasteful spending and the end result is, your guys got less short term spending for longer.
Worst case scenario when everybody is forced to pay up do to the default... your people are less well off because you stopped gouging when everyone else kept gouging and dragged everyone else downards.
It's the same reason green advocates are stupid when they propose special fuel blends and fuel taxes and coal taxes, that energy just gets spent out of state and out of country. Increasing pollution.
You are no closer to stopping global warming, which requires a global solution, and you've slowed down your own economy until either such a solution is reached or we hit the tipping point feeback loop.
The only thing you get from not partaking in these things is a pointless sense of pride for not contributing to the problem... that was unstoppable and going to happen anyway.
