    Social welfare isn’t the goal, the goal is a society that doesn’t need it because they are earning the value of what they produce.

      I don’t agree that the value of a human being is that which they produce. The society I want recognizes that human beings are inherently worthy of dignity, necessities, and basic comfort. The idea that any compassionate society will no longer need social welfare is pants-on-head “privileged”.
