Well if you’re able to work and don’t then it is your fault. But if you work full time and companies don’t pay you liveable wage, then it’s the company’s fault.

Well if you’re able to work and don’t then it is your fault. But if you work full time and companies don’t pay you liveable wage, then it’s the company’s fault. If you’re able to work and there are not enough jobs then it’s the government’s fault. And if you can’t work for some reason then it is no one’s fault. Social safety nets should be a way for people to fall back on when circumstances force you out of a job. They should not be a default so that big corporations can pay you less.

How does providing welfare make it so "big corporations can pay you less"? Is the the thinking that if your expenses were $1500/month, your job paid you $1000/month, and the welfare provided you $500/month, that you'd not demand $500 from your employer?
