Welfare is a good thing as far as being there for an emergency and temporary use but the way that it currently works IS LEGALIZED SLAVERY.
The part that falls under that category is the WEP program which doesn't give any incentive to get off of it because they threaten to turn off your case if you don't follow their wishes to work for 1 dollar a day. Even if you do get a job like at McDonalds, they will want to shut off your case and I'm pretty sure that you know, people can't really live off of McDonalds minimum wage.

I still don't get your point, can you explain it one more time?
Because it still sounds like something that's not slavery. Legalized or otherwise.
From what I read, this WEP (Work Experience Program) is exclusive to New York City... so if it's that much of an issue, you can relocate to one of the other 49 states that offer an oppurtunity to abuse the system the way you see fit.
