1- Anyone want to argue the counter-position -- That redistribution of income collected via social programs does NOT provide a better quality of life? Let's see if we can present an analysis that explores the complexities of this issue -- from both a short and long terms lens.
2- Let's consider these issues (ethics - flaws in safety nets) in light of the following specifics:
Data: 76% of those receiving food stamps are children, seniors, or disabled. 58% of those on food stamps who can work, do, and that 82% worked in the year before or after they were in the food stamp program.
Any thoughts on how these specific facts impact your understanding of the state welfare program? Would you argue this data supports the necessity of these safety nets or questions the overall effectiveness of the program?
