I actually struggled with the thoughts on welfare. That's not the solution I would like to see myself as it leads to multiple other problems. I have written my thoughts on welfare state. You can read that on /logs. But I do strongly feel that state should ensure that poor has means for improvement. I am further afraid that without that, many people would be inclined to take extreme steps which may cause harm to society in unforeseen ways. More than state, I would like to see rest of the society have better attitude towards poor. Probably we don't need higher taxes and channelling of money/resources by some people(who see long term benefits) towards the poor can help them a lot.
