However, it shouldn't be abused by young single moms that rely on welfare money to have and raise children that they shouldn't be having, simply so they can avoid going to work.
Our society is well enough off, that homelessness and hunger should be non-existent, and minimal (but clean, safe, and healthy) accommodations and a subsistence diet should be a birthright. \\
Now if you want luxury, complex toys, or a selective diet, then you should be required to contribute to the system adequate to cover your premium needs. But the fact that the top 90% of wealth is spread over only about 2% of the population is the root cause of so much that is wrong with this world, and I'd love the opportunity to fix it.
Now, I also believe that if you are living on "the dole" you should be expected to keep the side-walk clean and snow free in front of your house, and do the other little things (specific to your domicile) that constitute civic duty to your fellow man.
But there is no need for the suffering as we currently have it.
Desperate people do desperate things. If you take away food and shelter from poor people, they will have nothing left to lose and will have to resort to crime to survive.
