I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are setting up an either/or situation.

Either we set up forced labor/workhouse/prisons, or people will die. If that is what you are saying, I don't agree. It is not that simple.

Nor does it answer my main question: What good comes from welfare?

Blue

This is my biggest problem! There are people in need, who choose to be in need, and there are people in need because they have exhausted all other options.

I don't really have a problem with welfare in that situation.

I do have a question though Blue: what percentage of people "abuse the system" vs those that "truly needs some help"?
