How about we do the EXACT OPPOSITE!
Just give a standard salary to everone across the board, one that would cover necessities for every person in america like housing, clothes, food, energy etc. If we can do all this quantative easing, give bailouts, maintain the biggest army in the world, and pay 40 grand a year per inmate from the taxpayer wallet, why not this? Less people would resort to crime if they got a pot to piss in and perhaps people might actually do what they like instead of struggling to survive by any means.
How would this even work.How about we do the EXACT OPPOSITE!

i dunno but i recall reading this somewhere (no manifesto). Its not that crazy though, i would imagine it would be something like the Emirate dudes in Dubai who simply receive money from the state.
You do realize you just proposed communism right?How about we do the EXACT OPPOSITE!

If you're going to get rid welfare, you might as well get rid of inherentces, too. They're both people getting free money who didn't earn it, except one didn't come from the government. People don't have a problem with people getting free money, people have a problem WHO is getting free. They don't like people they feel like are beneath them enjoy the same things they are. Lame *** elitism.
"Oh my tax money blah blah"
You know how much bull**** your tax money buys? How many drug and hookers your tax money has paid for? The welfare system is the least of Americas problems.
]That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen
In the department of economy, an act, a habit, an institution, a law, gives birth not only to an effect, but to a series of effects. Of these effects, the first only is immediate; it manifests itself simultaneously with its cause - it is seen. The others unfold in succession - they are not seen: it is well for us, if they are foreseen. Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference - the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen, and also of those which it is necessary to foresee. Now this difference is enormous, for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favourable, the ultimate consequences are fatal, and the converse. Hence it follows that the bad economist pursues a small present good, which will be followed by a great evil to come, while the true economist pursues a great good to come, - at the risk of a small present evil.
Urban Deterioration
Public housing was only built with the blessing of the local government. Usually projects were built in older neighborhoods, whose old housing was demolished to make way for them. The destruction of tenements and eviction of their low-income residents consistently created problems in nearby neighborhoods with "soft" real estate markets.
The destruction of deteriorating buildings to make room for public housing often created problems in adjacent neighborhoods. An excellent example of this phenomenon can be found in Brooklyn. When blocks of slums in the Brownsville district were cleared to make room for public housing in the 1920s, thousands of displaced families moved into the neighboring district of East New York, which at that time was a predominantly white, middle-class area with a stable economy. The sudden influx of large, lower-income black and Hispanic families from Brownsville strained the physical and social services of the community. A mass exodus of the white population began (see white flight). Within six years a healthy community became one of the most decayed and dangerous neighborhoods in the United States. A similar situation occurred when Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania attempted to tear down public housing in the Hill District neighborhood to make way for a Civic Arena.[12]
Concentrated Poverty
This pattern of segregation and deterioration was self-perpetuating, as wealthier, often white residents left the urban neighborhoods where much of the public housing was located. This behavior was known as white flight and was due to a combination of factors. The result was to leave the poorest households concentrated in urban neighborhoods without many resources. This concentrated poverty was incredibly detrimental to urban neighborhoods, contributing to lower-performing schools, higher crime rates, reduced investment, and higher neglect. Census blocks considered to be sites of concentrated poverty are ones with poverty rates of forty percent or higher.[13]

Not necessarily... at all actually.
Still a stupid idea though
abolish it? nah, i am proud to help someone who needs my help and can't help themselves
the system should be changed though in order to stop people from taking advantage of it.
The system does need change, but as all systems in life, if there is a loophole someone will jump through it. What needs to be put in place is a deterrent. For emergency room visits, maybe put a copayment. For food stamps, severely restrict what can be bought with them.

Not a stupid idea at all actually. People could still work to earn extra income. People would actually strive to be in a profession that makes them happy. Imagine this, we have probably missed out on so many things because some people have not had the opportunity to be educated. What if the individual who could have already invented time travel died a poor bumbling old man in the street. We blow money to pay our military to stay 20 years ahead of us, and they don't even keep us informed on everything.
Wake up.
