We need to tax welfare benefits so these people learn where government money comes from and aren't so quick to vote for every tax increase there is. In some parts of the country, the welfare class is outnumbering the working people and there are serious problems ahead if something isn't done to reverse things.

We need a Supreme Court that adhears to the Constitution!
If ever achieving that, we need a public intrest law firm or an individual/group of indivuals with enough money to sue to eliminate all government programs that are unconstitutional.
The list starts with Social Security and Medicare and and welfare and would include at least 100 others.

Welfare reform was done already and the benefits are very limited (in amount, in asset tests, in time lenght). See the example of - Massachusetts implementation (the state which is rather liberal).
Welfare recepients are not powerful voting block.

I agree. We must learn the lessons of Rome.

As one among the recently unemployed I can tell you that my unemployment check is taxed. I don't begrudge paying taxes, they are what feeds the great benefits and services I have as an American.
