[Vision2020] Welfare vs Minimum Wage

[Scott Dredge]

I think the big problems are the metrics for determining those who are 'capable of working'.  'Able bodied' completely and maybe purposely puts aside 'able minded'.  Personally I don't see much point in attempting to force people to work against their will.  Then again, my grand pappy who was born in 1904 was a lot less forgiving when he would disdainfully tell me, 'In my day, if you didn't work, you didn't eat.  Nowadays you can just go on welfare and live like a king.'

I wouldn't exactly consider being on welfare to be living like a king.  And in my opinion, the people complaining most about those on welfare shouldn't be taxpayers, it should be those living on welfare themselves.  The more welfare recipients there are, the more likely I'd suppose that each one of them will get less.

I think it was the wording.  I think he read "restrict welfare payments to" as "limit welfare payments to", thinking you meant that only those who could work would get the payments.  What I presume you meant was more akin to "reduce welfare payments to", meaning that if you are capable of working you should get less of a pay out.

Do you truly think that is what I was trying to convey? .

So children, the elderly, and the disabled would not be eligible?

Or better yet, restrict welfare payments to people capable of working.
