Woah woah woah slow down there. What part of what I said implied an advocacy for a welfare state? I’m very much pro small government and against welfare.
You don’t have to work, you don’t have to eat, and you don’t have to live. I firmly believe these are all up to the individual.
Give the free market some space to breath instead of bankrupting 1/6 of small business and people will find ways to be productive, but you provide their basic necessities regardless of their productivity and you incentivize leeching off the productive.
