welfare should be a TEMPORARY aid, not a lifestyle

The reason that many people are on welfare for a long time is because they can't afford to work. Many of those people have University educations.
*standard* lot lifestyle
I'm on welfare & i'm trying to get out of it honestly. I suffered from a stroke awhile back and I lost all sensation on the right-side of my body. Then, I had to re-learn my speech, walking, driving, and a lot of other essential things. I went on welfare as a way to keep myself financially afloat & i'm currently trying to find a job that can suit my needs currently. Finding that is the hardest part.
I do think there's a place for welfare for the disabled, elderly, & those who will need the help - i'm in no way against the idea - but I also recognize the problems with it. Trump's right though. People with jobs shouldn't be making less than those on welfare & i don't really know how that problem can be fixed without expanding our goverment's control.
Let voluntary private charities deal with those in need. The welfare state is designed to keep people poor and dependent on the state. It was never about compassion.
Good you have healthcare, we don't. Hubby and I pay 30% of our income and even more when it's a bonus. We can't even afford government healthcare. If we work a second job, we are penalized in taxes and end up having to pay even more at the end of the year! We pay and pay and then pay some more and get NOTHING BACK. I stand in line at the grocery store buying chicken thighs and ground beef while the woman in front of me paying by EBT, with her nails and hair did, has cart FULL of steak and ribs!!!!!! STOP ALL WELFARE!!!!
The real problem is not that the government needs to establish more bureaucracy, criteria, and conditional demands. The real problem is wasteful and corrupt spending in those bureaucracies.
Just like financial aid should be regulated. We got tons of kids spending our tax money on elective classes, expensive clothes, cars and music festivals while there's students that really want to thrive that work two or three jobs and go school because they couldn't qualify for it.
ederson barrientos exactly. But people who say the welfare system should be demolished completely are idiots. The welfare system isn’t necessarily bad altogether, it’s just the abuse of the system that’s bad. The background checks/eligibility checks for people who apply for government assistance should be more strict.
Idk 5906 how are you aware of how strict welfare is? Do you know anyone who has signed up for it easily and is abusing the system? Most people want to work and it's obvious. Unemployment rates are most effected by great financial depressions.
In Australia we generally avoid these kind of cliffs where once you go over you lose everything. It’s more like if you earn $1 then your benefits reduce by 50 cents.
I don’t think we should get rid of the welfare unlike how many people on the right think but I think we should reform or make more regulations on the welfare state.
Cut all of it. No more EBT. No more public housing. I don't want any more of my tax dollars going to these deadbeats.
SF2TOKYO Most of it, not all.
Dumb Ass comment! Some people can't work jackass
Deadbeats? Not everyone who uses the welfare system is “lazy” or a “deadbeat.” Don’t be so closed-minded. The welfare system isn’t necessarily a bad thing, what’s bad is the abuse of the system. People get too comfortable with the system and start becoming lazy and don’t strive for more in life, so they abuse the system. We need to start to help people help themselves.
Tough Shit, get out of America then.
Not a good idea. it needs to be improved not abolished
How about no welfare and a free unregulated market, this goes for any country, except for those with disabilities that make work impossible for them and there is no guarantee of charity by the way.
I agree
Because that's never worked anywhere and countries that do that suck and score lower on the Human Rights Index than countries that do.
If working people with minimum wages cannot rely on additional income from welfare, then the minimum wage would have to be increased to allow the poor to, you know, not starve. Also, now that Joe Biden lost in 2016, we know that parents don't want a policy where their grown children mooch off them.
The market is currently unregulated and this is causing a lot of homelessness and poverty. I’m sorry but this comment is very very false.
How did welfare affect the Great Depression?
While attitudes toward government assistance began to change during the Great Depression, going on welfare was still viewed as a painful and humiliating experience for many families. MY HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED!!
welfare state, according to a new studie, prolonged the great depression for years
We have them in ireland too
ye on the dole lad
Hubby and I pay 30% of our income to taxes and even more when it's a bonus. We can't even afford government healthcare. If we work a second job, we are penalized in taxes and end up having to pay even more at the end of the year! We pay and pay and then pay some more and get NOTHING BACK.

End welfare
Yeah these people on food stamp need to work harder or starve.
@@brandonkass7790 You're a douche.
Dang it Been, I put this on while I do my statistics thinking that you wouldn't be spouting numbers off! Now I'm never going to get my degree and get employed!!!
What about those that work less but make the most?
Hey Ben! Slow the talk. Give me time to digest
This should be a criticism of wages then, if someone working 3 jobs cant make the minimum to survive
Retirement is boring, some people will work to not be bored or feel accomplished. Also, if people who do work end up worse off, then the system isn't working and should be changed
Incentives:Pay people to stay poor and you will get lots of poor people. Tax cuts to those who make money and you will get productive people with who have more money.
The problem is not that people on welfare make that much money but that people who work get that little money...a thing that could easily be fixed with reasonable minimum wage.
Agreed. And that sick people get the help they need so the can get back to work.
Considering the help the Jewish people received to found their own state again, I’m surprised to see them hate on the welfare state so much.
Mousehead2000 The Jewish state is prosperous. The welfare state is impoverished which is a clear indication that something is wrong with the welfare state. That’s the difference.
Aisha Davis I don’t think you understood what I said.
@@mousehead2000 Ben is a total hypocrite
He complains about the welfare state but won’t say a damn thing about the billions of dollars Israel gets every year which does nothing for you me or anyone in this country.
@@cesarromo987 It's pure hipocrisy. They are against welfare for the needy, but not for their friends.
tax and transfer benefits for universally eligible and additional programs - what is this?
What are your thoughts on corporate welfare?
What?
If they don’t need it (which is rarely) it needs to go. Welfare in general should only be for the down on their luck and disabled (veterans and non veterans)
Corporate welfare and tax cuts for corporations is good for the economy. Welfare and tax cuts for the poor will cause a crash. It's not the other way around or anything.
There is no such thing. You are being lied to by the Leftist Demons.
@@brandonkass7790 I'm starting to lean more towards that as I learn more. Thanks for replying.
Who gets 30,000 in welfare benefits? That chart is inflated.
Just because welfare recipients make more than people working does not make them deadbeats. Welfare recipients don't control how much the government gives them. Blaming welfare recipients for making more than working people is like me blaming Ben Shapiro because they are putting safe injection sited in my city. Secondly it is not hard to find the balancing point Shapiro is talking about. All you have to do is take 50% of what recipients earn of there welfare payments and let them keep the other 50%.
@Maaahaaah
"Although I don't necessarily thinks his criticism for that is against the recipients, but the system." That's right Ben Shitpiro wants to throw all the welfare recipients on the street. But he doesn't have anything against the people, but the system. Yeah, that makes sense.
Don’t fucking put your logo on something you stole straight from the Ben Shapiro show
Believe it or not, not everyone grows up rich and can attend Harvard, also, most aren't lazy, it's just that their wages are shit
So?
Black women have to eat too.
Them work
question conservatives. doesnt your philophy get thrown out the window if people cant find jobs? ehat about people who have criminal records and other inhibitors that impair the ability to get a job?
Gabriel Taylor So you wouldnt support a Ban the Box movement? Something that helps people with minor crime records get jobs? This would technically help out blue collar people too. You are a right wing populist arent you?
@@hoodhomesgardens Yeah because that wouldn't lead to more crime out of desperation

@@madeinamerica9449 people work and still struggle. people try to manage money properly and still get screwed. stop thinking that everyone is jusy lazy and doesnt want to work
it said right on there, "single parent with two kids" it even notice the person is already working.
"Marriage penalties or subsidies are assessed primarily for taking wedding vows, not for living together with another adult. Those who do not feel morally compelled to swear fidelity in religious or public ceremonies for the most part do not suffer the penalties. Similarly, someone with low earnings can gain all the benefits of living with another, be it parent or friend or lover, as long as there is no marriage. Our tax and welfare s ystem essentially f avors those who consider marriage an option- to be avoided when there are penalties and engaged when there are bonuses. The losers tend to be those who consider marriage vows to be sacred."
this is from he link he used.
End all welfare. Corporate welfare also.
No. That wouldn’t work. We should reform the welfare system. We should put more regulations or strict policies for welfare. Welfare is actually needed in society but I do believe there is definitely an abuse or overuse of the welfare state which obviously needs to be changed
I really doubt he actually knows anyone who works 3 jobs that lives next to someone on welfare lol
So the max is 940 in California if you need it. Which works out to 31 dollars a day. If you accidentally got one job, you'd net more working than you would ever on ssi. It is harder to work within welfare as it is limited means and you cannot get more if you work more. Plus it is so hard to get it and you have to prove your need, like being disabled. Is there a comparison of mother's being on welfare/not being on it and having kids. Where is this graph?
Meme review 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I see it with my own lying eyes...almost every guy at my job(shipbuilding) making 60k plus a year easily, some work a lot of overtime, we're all making over 25 an hour with overtime 80k --90k a year and this is the South, cost of living is pretty low in comparison comparison...and their" wives " are all "single mothers "...they're not not legally married so the wives get foodstamps and medicaid for the kids while working on the side cleaning houses for cash and stuff...we are wasting so much ...the amount of people that ACTUALLY would not be able to eat and live without welfare is so small that without welfare programs and the rest of us with more money in our pockets we could easily help the needy,locally through charity. The problem is that on paper we millions and millions of hungry needy people including children who would starve to death if we pull the plug,but it's not true
My girlfriend take disability people gym/shopping/easy activities and is a manager during the week 90k salary plus 70 bucks weekends for 10 hour sat 10 hours sun brah she making bank while I literally fight for my back for money and take many sacrifices. While it comes so easy to her it's tough I could of been of disability but chose not to be a welfare bum and I don't wanna do her job such a big exploit to hard working people taking it out of there hard earned money.i wanna. I'm sick of this country (Aus). Most welfare should burn. And lower everyone's taxes as a result.
Imagine just picking up someone going gym dropping off and making bank. I'm upset.
What areas in NY State have the HIGHEST welfare rates...New Square, Kiryas Joel, South Williamsburg Brooklyn...does Ben Shapiro think that these Jewish communities are not working hard enough or at all?
Nevermind the welfare system, how about we create livable wages where ppl dont have to work 3 fking jobs just to exist in this country
A few lazy people cheating the system is a small price to pay to help the majority who actually need these programs.
Richard Underwood wrong! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Most people don't need welfare. There's plenty of opportunity. Fuck the poor
More people cheat the system than genuinely need it.
There's generation of thots shitting out kids by mutliple dudes and getting paid to do it by welfare.
It needs to go. It allows the dumbest to reproduce like rabbits and teach them that making mistakes causes more money to arrive.
I don’t think we should demolish the welfare system entirely. Some people really need the extra assistance. We should do better when it comes to background checks/eligibility checks for the people who apply for government assistance.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Thanks Obama
It's interesting how Conservatives want little to no social safety net yet they are also against the government being a employer of last resort.
Richard Underwood yep!!! I agree and I’m conservative. Why would you want more government???
@@aslapofreality1444 So I can survive.
@@booboobunny5655 Are you disabled or a fully functional adult?
@@aslapofreality1444 what about mental illness that may prevent people from participating in society, that have to survive somehow.
"Social safety net "?...I think you mean "Government forcefully taking from some to give to others safety net "....THAT'S the one we oppose.It actually goes against the classical liberal principle of equality before the Law. The problem is not the safety net but the way it's constructed. If such safety net is built out of voluntary transactions between free individuals then it would actually be against conservative/classical liberal principles to oppose it.Any other imaginary contradiction you want to point out?

Well, the US welfare system is a fail. But to value the work of people more, you shouldn't cut welfare but raise wages!
It isn't up to the state to decide what people make though, wouldn't you agree ?
The US like a lot of other countries already have a minimum wage. Do you agree that it is outrageous!! that people have to work 3 jobs? No matter what education you have you should never have to work 3 jobs to make ends meets in a "civilized" "christian" country like the US
I agree that life might be hard for some people, however I don't believe that justifies state intervention in the work market. Let's bring this to it's logical extreme, let the the state give money for free to people who live in "hardship" ! Actually, this is what a lot of high-welfare European countries do, such as France or Germany. Does it help working class people? No.
Even with this, the US still has much higher income mobility, showing that people left to their accords move up the social ladder when required by themselves, not the state. That is what I would emphasize. It is not the State's role to decide whether people people should work hard for not much, it is people's own decisions.
Yes it does! In Germany you get about 450€ plus a crappy flat. a single person can SURVIVE on that, tho it's not a good life! If you have kids then, you struggle to feed everybody. They aint on foodstamps tho. they got food, water, housing. the necessities.
So you think, abolishing the minimum wage is a good idea? Because corporations like walmart wouldn't start paying people less?
Or abolishing employer healthcare? let's bring it to it's logical extreme and reinstall sweat shops, 7 work days a week, 12 hour days and child labor.
All those are state intervention in the free work market. Roll em back?
Well child labor would still be illegal as it's child abuse. But amidst this example, I do think the minimum wage should be abolished either way. I don't believe people make money because the state dictates they should. Let's bring this to it's logical extreme: why don't we put the minimum wage at 30k $ a months? Then surely people would live well!
So what are we going to do when automation replaces many jobs? Do we just let millions of people starve? I understand why people are against welfare if the world continues how it currently is, but if in future most or all low skilled jobs are replaced by automation how will people be able to pay for food/housing?
Shamic Entertainment well we aren't in those times yet. Welfare is going to be detrimental until automation actually starts taking jobs away.
People will find new jobs. People were worried they would lose jobs with all the machinery that was implemented in the last 200 years. Yet, people aren't starving at a higher rate; they are actually doing better in the last 200 years. Machines enhance productivity. They help, not hurt.

If automation creates new jobs then yeah, it will be okay. But it seems that the next wave of automation will replace far more jobs than it creates. Most low skill jobs will disappear.
Not necessarily. Even if people do not get new jobs that relate to automation, they will find something to do. Apple and Google hire tons of people, but that is because an entirely new thing was invented, not because Apple and Google relate to the automation that stole people's jobs.
If people lose jobs, then even more technological advances could happen, because less humans are needed for those low skill jobs.
Aniarable Channel
You might be right. But I'm not convinced there will be enough new jobs created. If I am right, then we really are going to need a ubi because millions will have no way to pay living expenses. If I'm wrong then it will be fine and we won't need to worry. It's hard to know what will happen, but I'm not optimistic.
We have a social democratic welfare state here and unemployment is at 4%
Health care is free schools are free and are fueling our economy with high educated citizens.
Watch taxes eat you up.... and btw... search up how GDP is calculated
Just because they rank much happier doesn't mean anything. If we pay for socialism we can't pay for war.
@Maaahaaah You think the Republicans haven't been doing that for their terms? Besides you are misusing the term "socialist" because you don't know what it means. Democrats don't advocate for a centrally planned economy nor abolishing private property. You're whole point is undermined by your ignorance.
i agree that this isn't right but it doesn't mean that welfare shouldn't exist
If you look at the original mandates of Welfare from the late 1940s, it was supposed to be a last resort to prevent people from having to live in complete material poverty and starvation. I don't think anyone is opposed to that. The contention is when welfare exceeds this mandate, which it has everywhere it was implemented. I don't know whether that means welfare as a whole should be abolished or not
well if companies paid people enough and stopped using immigrants as cheap labor maybe people wouldn't need all those benefits. And I'm pretty sure Ben has said he wants to completely get rid of welfare and that the poor should take care of their own problems :/
I havn't personally heard that, but it wouldn't entirely surprise me. What I have heard is that he is for replacing welfare with private charities. Which is sort of the same I guess? I do think that this outcome would redistribute wealth and resources much more fairly though.
well I think the problem is that; let charities take care of it, this is what happens with pure capitalism, none profit areas get left behind, which is what's happened in american healthcare. This is why the African government don't bother t solve any problems, because we send aid all the time.
@Maaahaaah No, we have regulations to prevent abuse of the workforce who otherwise don't get a say and have to survive. I hope you're not being serious
how about welfare & if you work you get MORE MONEY
If he had been born poor he would be a starving. Considering how looser he is as rich person. Try poverty and then tolk.
exactly my problem is even poor adults can manage but what about poor kids its the entire community responsibility no ifs or buts others we all shouldnt breed children if we cant take care of them as simple as that
