Unless it's benefits for injuries or something that would keep you out of the workforce.

The only danger in that is you'll get people who fake injuries to get the benefits. I think welfare is OK for those who geniunely are unable to work or are jobless but looking for jobs, but it should be kept away from fraudsters and the sort of lazy, grotesque people who can't be bothered looking for a job. Disabled people should have it, and if the disability is a mental one they should get counselling and therapy. People who are looking for work but are unsuccessful deserve it until they get a job. People who sit back and relax because they're getting another welfare check so don't need to work should get cut off. For life-Abuse the system and you lose the system ,I say.
Also, SM's gas-out suggesstion could be seriously be useful, if done with the criminals. When I say criminals, I mean ones like murderers, not the kind who get nicked for pinching a handbag or something. Rapists, murderers, mass murderers, terrorists etc. should die, or at least be given minimum cost living conditions. Sure it's almost Nazi-like, and you can say it is inhumane, but surely killing another person for no reason or commiting genocide or rape are also inhumane actions. That way the taxes that go to keeping them alive and healthy can be better distributed around, allowing a bigger influx of cash into the economy and thus giving people more money to get a foothold with and find jobs. And reducing taxes for taxpayers.
Trust me on that, we're covering ecomony at school- boring as hell but useful.
