Let me ask you this Ruin, what is the incentive? I've skimmed over a lot of Sanders proposals ect. I have not come across anything that to me, show any reason to want to work hard. Currently that incentive I believe is there. Work hard to achieve bigger and better (even if its simply the idea of such). Where is the incentive to work hard when everything is mandated? How much money you make, how many days off you get, how you're suppose to live your life. I just don't see an incentive to read out and get ahead in this type of environment.
Even in our broken system we have now, I do believe that those who wish to work hard will get out and succeed. When everything is handed to them there is little incentive. This is my biggest problem with welfare in its current state. We seem to be so give give give and ask nothing in return. Thus we don't encourage people to get off of the welfare programs and back into the work force. Heck we come up with new means of welfare to make life even better.
I think we have a major problem with entitlement currently going on in this country. The way we administer welfare only seems to exasperate this problem. Given the way things are currently, I can't understand how adding more welfare type programs will ever make things better.
Frankly I think we'd see a heck of a lot more people succeeding if we cut the welfare. In place of the ungodly amount of money we spend on these types of programs create jobs. It doesn't have to be big jobs, heck even cleaning the parks would be better then nothing. Anything to force people to get off of the couch and into doing something, anything, useful and constructive.
