Why don't we put way more people on welfare?
Welfare is obviously great for everyone, you get free things you need to survive.
Since welfare is so helpful, Why don't we lower the requirements for people to get on welfare?
What if we had everyone that made less than 1 million dollars a year receive enough food stamps to cover all of their food expenses, free public transportation or free gas, a free cell phone and cell phone hours, free healthcare, and free apartment housing?
This way we would all have to work MUCH less and be able to enjoy life a lot more! We could spend more time with our families and improve as a country/world!

In Texas, a family of four receives $632 per month. Also, in Texas, those that eat at 4 star restuarants can easily drop $300 for one meal. Those people are not going on welfare. In fact, anyone who is working above the poverty line is not going on welfare.

Because someone has to pay for that welfare.
Welfare can only exist if the government has enough money to pay for it, and they only get that money from taxes. If no-one is working hard and paying taxes, there is not enough money in the country for welfare.
