This is why charity should replace welfare. I have no problem giving money and support to people who actually need it; neither do most people. With charity, you see who is getting the money in your community and you can expect certain characteristics in them, like work ethic. With welfare you are literally killing yourself and your community as intelligent and hard working people can invest less into their own kids while the most ungrateful and degenerate individuals of society multiply and destroy the very group of people supporting them.
