The only solution I can come up with, is provide the help needed to those that will accept it and don't meddle with people that won't, but are not a danger to society.
I'll admit that's not a warm and fuzzy be all, end all, but it's the best I can think of without trampling all over people's rights.  |
I'm not necessarily looking for warm and fuzzy. Are we at the point where nobody can even offer a suggestion? Ok, as king of the world
, I'll start.
If it is determined that someone wants to be a productive member of society, they are put into a system that provides food, clothing shelter, for a limited time, until they can survive on their own. At the same time, minimum wage is increased until it is enough to survive on.
If it is determined that someone can never be a productive member of society, due to mental or physical issues, they are put into a system that provides food, clothing shelter for the rest of their life. Not optional. The loss of some of their freedoms is in exchange for not being a productive member of society, and not being left to die on their own. Gotta keep those loonies off the grass!
If it is determined that someone doesn't want to be a productive member of society, is "playing the system", they will be severely punished, maybe even forced to be a productive member of society, in an incarcerated sort of way.
Let the discussion begin!
