To be even more fair to your point, the biggest recipients of welfare are not people, but large businesses and corporations. And the government already selectively discriminates against businesses it doesn’t like, while funding businesses that it does.

Don’t you see how welfare is the mechanism which enables that dependency in the first place? Very little of our taxes are spent giving food and shelter to the poor. The vast majority of them are spend on bribes and handouts which create dependency and help political parties and the state in general achieve its goals.

I think that every human has something of value that they can provide for others. Even if it’s not monetary, and comes in the form of companionship or some intangible relationship.

To say that people need government, need taxes, need welfare, because they aren’t capable of providing for themselves or have no one in their lives willing to help them, is degrading to those people. If we stop stealing from the working class through taxes and inflation, and you’ll see just how capable the average person is. And that’s what makes life, and humanity, beautiful.
