How does government welfare not breed irresponsibility, crime, and government slavery?

Jack asked:

If the government pays for you to eat and live, then those on welfare have NO cost to being irresponsible.

They are being given an incentive to breed irresponsibilty, crime, and government slavery, because they have no cost to being irresponsible.

Do you agree?

    Disagree.

    Welfare is intended to be used by people while they try to get back on their feet so they and their families don’t starve, freeze and do without basic necessities. It works for a lot of families.

    Any abuses should be reported, investigated and charged.

    Maybe if walmart didnt pay its people wages that put them just above the poverty level they wouldn’t need to be on welfare. Why does walmart have so much information for their workers to be on welfare?

    Slavery? Can’t agree… that borders on absurd.

    Crime? What? What backs this up?

    Irresponsibility – in some cases, sure. Of course. people are going to take advantage of any situation, no matter what.

    The highest rates of poverty and crime are in the inner cities.
    The highest rates of government welfare are in the inner cities.
    the highest rates of moral decay (broken homes, out of wedlock children, etc.) are in the inner cities.

    The black community used to have lower divorce rates and lower out of wedlock children rates than whites. And then the “Great Society” (welfare) was implemented by liberal democrats in the 60s. Now blacks have the worst rates of divorce and out of wedlock children of all demographics.

    Democrats destroyed the black community and are trying to do it to the rest of us as well.

    Jack is absolutely correct. Sure some people are on welfare for a very limited time when a bad situation hits, but generous government programs give more money for far less effort than unambitious people can get through the jobs they are qualified for (minimum wage). So it makes sense for them to not plan childbirth wisely (since each child comes with additional benefits), not work for a living and just generally behave irresponsibly.

    I have been covered by unemployment for my whole life, but have only collected it for a few weeks of that time. Many people have private disability insurance, but only a small percentage of them ever use it and an even smaller percentage ever tries to fake a disability.

    Agreed. But they still have the responsibility to vote Democrat.
