I love how the left assumes if were just nice and give them free shit, they'll stop attacking us

Really? Who on the left is saying this?

Pretty sure the discrepency between right and left regarding welfare is that the right believes welfare does more harm than good, while the left thinks welfare (and other govt. benefits) provide enough good that the small amount of those abusing the system is acceptable. Like, yes, exploitation should be minimized, but to deny benefits from the many who these programs help in order to punish some bad apples is unfair to the many who are in need of temporary help and are not bad apples.

You've a rather hyperbolic idea of how the left views this. And granted, while views vary on a person to person basis (just as they do all across the political spectrum, it's unfair to lump everyone on the left with this absurd straw man you've built to describe them.

Giving out "free shit" isn't going to eliminate shitty people from the world, nor is telling everyone they're on their own and they can fuck themselves if they hit hard times.
