Welfare feeds the terror state. A society has to have the highest regard for life and reasonable and good laws in order for welfare to work -- without it breeding despair, misery and terror preferentially.

Money and goods and service beyond that ... breeding grounds if society itself is not a high moral and ethical standards culture -- one that values life supremely.
