I hate the term taxes are theft, but if they are not used for everyone (Bridges, roads, etc_ then it is theft. It is taking my money by force and handing it to someone else.

That doesn't solve any problems. It only creates problems. Now I am not against short term welfare programs but welfare should never be a way of life except for those who can't work.

Living on welfare should not be a thing. A job should pay a living wage. Everyone should work as it's good for people. The government tries to find the most screwed up way to help people which ends up doing little. The real solution is the government should focus on jobs paying enough that people don't need welfare.
