No, welfare is a safety net to prevent people falling into abject poverty.
What you support is Somalian order. Every man for himself or die. Unfortunately when people are near the bottom, those above do not want their position threatened so these individuals are prevented from bettering themselves.
So, what's your solution? To just not work a job because it won't lead to "fabulous" wealth?
There are those born into wealth and those that accumulate it through hard work and good decisions and some with just blind dumb luck.
At the end of the day there are the "haves" and the "have nots". If the "have nots" have to work minimum wage jobs that's just how it is. Sorry you feel that's beneath you so you complain about "fair wage laws". Maybe you should focus on improving your own marketable skills instead of taking the ridiculous liberal position of those with wealth are "oppressing" those without it.
What's really funny is those same liberal politicians who run campaigns on these same platforms are busy accumulating their own wealth while posing themselves as an advocate for those people "victimized" by poverty.
The only difference between liberals and conservatives is conservatives don't hide the fact they want to keep their accumulated wealth.
It's got nothing to do with "beneath you". It's about paying a wage that a person can actually live on without having to rely on welfare. The lack of fair wage laws results in the tax payer ie us subsidizing poor business ethic. Why are you OK with that?

That's what "welfare" is on paper. What it is in real life is a very real excuse to not be productive and assume responsibility for yourself.
The difference between how something should work and how it does actually work are sometimes very different.
The idiotic excuse of the people above me are holding me down doesn't really work. You work a job, pay your bills, enjoy life where you can.

"The idiotic excuse of the people above me are holding me down doesn't really work. You work a job, pay your bills, enjoy life where you can."
These two sentences are not mutually inclusive. In fact, the latter sentence is generally that said by those doing the oppressing.

Working a job and paying your own way isn't oppressive. Stop making excuses.

"Working a job and paying your own way isn't oppressive."
I never said it was. But it's the expectation to just get on with your shitty job that those who oppress use to breed complacency.
It is not oppressive, but preventing fair wage laws is.
