copkiller;4581201Its just one of many reason why I oppose welfare. But mainly because it causes dependence. Its the old “Give a [I said:
man[/I] a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.”
I'm all for charity. For instance if someone has fallen upon hard times, we should help them get back on their feet. But the ultimate goal should be to make them self sufficient again.
In Australia, welfare basically means an entitlement to regular payments for doing nothing. This doesn't help anyone, least of all the welfare recipients.
