Welfare Is Obviously A "Good" Thing.
Though the practice is nothing new, corporations now openly beg for welfare and display no compunction about it, while they build welfare funding into their annual budgets. If the people who make up the shareholders of these corporations, the peoples who comprise the business and industry communities these corporations thrive in, and the people who comprise the entities in government that provide these corporations welfare see a way to profit from giving and receiving welfare, then why should you or I have a problem with welfare at all - particularly wherein it can benefit us? Welfare is obviously cool and PC.

If it wasn't for welfare we would have a section of society with no other option than to enter the criminal class.
100% employment has been an unachievable goal of every society we have ever produced.
I would buy a hungry man a cheeseburger. Though I wouldn't buy a fix for a junkie.
How do you educate someone with no hope of his position in life? We might as well start a Holocaust as live in a society which turns it's nose up to a welfare state.
Society needs welfare as much as welfare needs society.

DEFINE WELFARE..... If You Define Welfare as Getting Something Nothing, Then IT IS WRONG.
It is Wrong for Individuals, and Wrong for Businesses....... If Government is the One Disbursing the Welfare, It is MORE WRONG. The Practice of Giving the Downtrodden a HELPING HAND Should be the American Way.
Growing Up in the 40's & 50's No One in Our Lower Class Neighborhood Went Hungry, Nor Received Welfare From the Government. We Helped Each Other.

Welfare is forcing people to help the needy. Arbitrarily equalizing people against their will is not a good thing.

I do believe your post is tongue-in-cheek?

 No welfare state would be almost like killing of a section of society, just because of what they were born into.
