True, but not completely true in the presence of a welfare floor. What happens when the effective welfare wage is above the minimum wage? Very few people are incentivized to work.
Does that mean I'm for a minimum wage? No, not exactly, or even approximately. My focus is on what this wage competes against. Clean up welfare fraud, change EBT back to food stamps to make it inconvenient, stop throwing money at the underclass for things that are not essential.
There is no reforming welfare there is only END it.
To suggest that it is possible to reform theft into something noble, it is not possible. And welfare is theft, from the productive and giving it to the nonproductive in exchange for their votes. It is not charity. Charity does not come down the barrel of a gun, theft does. And taxation is theft. Especially on “income”.
