but not much more than is needed to survive
I agree
I think workfare would be a better alternative though
was anyone on /pol/ on the 2014 midterms?
get people doing service jobs while they are unemployed
Didn't matter too much back then I assume
good times
@FLAnon I took a break from /pol/ from 2014 to early 2016
I ran into a bunch of fags on 4craft who were running the /pol/ team who were pretty much all but communist in name
In 2014 we still had Obama and the such, I mean we didn't have as much to gain from a lot in a midterm landslide
I dont get how anyone who believes that ineptitude is directly correlated to IQ and genes could believe that the poor are suffering solely because of the rich
@Extra Crispy anyways welfare, you were saying
I think that workfare would be a better alternative, since it would keep people who were dependent on the state active, and attempt to entice them to find another job
2014 was pretty shocking tbh
The thing I feel is that you shouldn't reward unproductivity
I agree
everyone expected a GOP landslide, but the fact they won in Illinois was shocking
I also think that if you have more kids while on welfare, that you shouldn't be given more welfare money
If you have a horrible disease, are a veteran, or are eligible for social security then you should be applicable for welfare, not too many exceptions
there's no such thing as a free lunch; the more money welfare recipiants demand on the tax payers to fill their pockets, the more of a burdan it is on the people who are working to pay taxes
with that in mind, I believe welfare shouldn't be anything more than a temporary supplimental solution
I also think it should be more up to the people to handle these sort of things, especially considering how there had previously before the healthcare system was in place, been a system in which a union-like organization was structured around workers who searched for the most effective, as well as cheapest doctors they could find
I also believe we should restrict social security eligibility to an extent
I think social security is a fraud
a lot of old immigrants come in here and immediately become eligible even though they haven't worked in the US
the issue is how do you convince people to defund the social security fund
its already being consumed at a rate higher than it can be filled
Yeah, that's a big problem
its very unstable
I don't count on it lasting much more than a decade, at best
I think we should restrict it to immigrants who haven't been here since a certain age
like if you come at 60 you shouldn't be eligible
something like that
there is also an issue with pre-existing conditions
Because the idea is: you work your whole life and get payroll taxes, then you are rewarded with a certain amound of money in your old age
>rewarded
its your money
Yeah lmao
you're never going to get anything near what you put in when you were younger anyway
literally thousands of dollars, gone
