Welfaring should be socially acceptable. Why should people have no choice other than to work?
- krapp 7y agoWelfare would be more socially acceptable in the US if it weren't culturally associated with non-white populations and a creeping "socialist agenda."
- tomschlick 7y agoBecause generally taking money from others which is meant to be for people on hard times, and giving nothing back in return is looked down upon. As it should be.
- zwkrt 7y agoBut all these sentiments are wrapped up in the way things are now. Why is welfare only meant for people who have fallen on hard times? I would think that working at McDonalds is a kind of vindictive welfare for people who have fallen on hard times, and UBI is a lot more humanitarian than making someone’s life a living hell because a large company has convinced us their employees aren’t indentured servants.
- tomschlick 7y ago> Why is welfare only meant for people who have fallen on hard times? Because not making enough to support yourself is hard times. You should be actively working to get out of that. Go to school, get a better job, get off welfare. There are tens of thousands of jobs that pay very very well (welding, plumbing, construction, programming, etc). They are begging for people to apply.
- cheeseomlit 7y agoSomeone has to work for society to function. And you're taking those people's money, often against their will, and giving it to people who don't want to work. You see nothing wrong with that?
