Negative Brief - Welfare

Value: Welfare

Are you aware of the total system of welfare?
Did you know that welfare money is actually tax money, which people earned?
Is money that someone earned their property?
So the government violates individual rights (making it illegitimate), and violates someone’s right to property.
Is everyone on welfare incapapable of taking care of themselves?
Is man lazy?
So we want to get things easily?
So we could apply for welfare, say we can’t work, and get money that other people worked hard to make?
Does everyone want welfare?
Does the majority?
So popular sovereignty is your way to achieve welfare?

(no historical examples)

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”
-Thomas Sowell (American Writer and Economist)
