Welfare

You see Welfare as going to support primarily drunks and addicts, where I do not. The enlightened approach is to offer some alternative to those on the border of desperation so that they do not turn to violence or crime, and insofar that this entails some Welfare reaching drunks and/or addicts, so be it.

Most research into the subject has shown the prototypcial Welfare Queen to be a myth.

That there are stingy, selfish, short-sighted people who do not see this as a function of government is a given, but I prefer my point of view on this one because it is the wisest course.
