The Pros And Cons Of Welfare Reform

For eliminating those who scam government programs, such as welfare and the food stamp program, and so the taxpayer does not have to pay for other’s needs. It is such a burden on today’s society for all of those who have devoted their lives and labor to making a comfortable income, to fend for those who have failed to escape the suffocating grip of the lower-class lifestyle. It has been deemed the industrious taxpayer’s responsibility to make up for the shortcomings of others in today’s society. It is most frustrating to see a chunk of a well-earned paycheck be given to those who avoid working an honest job; given to those who instead scam government programs such as welfare, and food stamps, to make a living. These programs, designed as a

Without welfare and food stamps, there is no other way to crawl out of poverty other than the way of the industrious hard-worker. This will create better citizens out of formerly corrupt individuals. There are plenty of opportunities for the unemployed out there; this idea is just what they need to kick start their drive to succeed.

Fourthly, a side effect of disposing of the SNAP and welfare program will be an increase in the middle class and a decrease in the lower/poor class. The lower class will either be forced to become part of the middle class, or they will die. A result of this will be a sharp decrease of poor, homeless people, and a great influx of the population of the middle class.

This is just one of the many ways that abandoning the poor will lead to the success of our

Some believe that understanding, and compassion for those who are in need will mitigate the social stigma that surrounds poverty, giving the confidence boost the impoverished need to seek out a job, or even a higher level of education (Williams, p. 11-12). Some may even suggest that increasing a welfare and food stamp tax on the 1% will allow some relief for the lower-middle class, who need every dime they earn to live comfortably, while still providing people in poverty with the benefits from SNAP and welfare that they need. And as for the issue concerning those who take advantage of these government programs, some have recommended that an increase in regulations and guidelines that target the scammers will be just as effective as eliminating these programs altogether. However, I must respectfully disagree. My idea not only has the potential to eradicate the lower class completely (something that none of these ideas have to offer), it is also extremely simple and practical. No new, convoluted regulations will have to be drawn out to prevent the success of scammers, and no monumental societal changes will have to be made by the American population in an effort to “accept
