You take away welfare and you'll notice a big increase in crime. Like it or not, there are many people in this world who are worthless and who refuse to work minimum wage jobs. A "kick in the butt" for many of them won't result in them getting jobs, it'll result in them lashing out in other ways. If one person does it, no big deal. If tens of thousands of people do it, it deteriorates the quality of life all around. You gotta think of these social programs as an investment in maintaining the standard of life we're used to here in the 1st world, and make no mistake about it, we have it pretty damn good compared to many.
