I used to be a total leftist and believed shit like welfare was just an insurance policy to keep those that are younger and hungrier than you from under bidding you for your job making the taxes they pay a form of job security. It's only now that I'm older and wiser do I realize those people simply couldn't compete against them in the first place and removing their welfare altogether wouldn't not only be a threat to the workers but would make them considerably better off as well. Sure the leftists would suffer but nothing lights a fire under someone's arse like homelessness and hunger and once they sorted themselves out you could be damn sure they wouldn't vote for a reduction in their wages to support another bum like the person they used to be.
