Rich people want to swim in money like Scrooge McDuck and they can't do that if they have to pay tax, therefore welfare is evil. 
The war on welfare is yet another symptom of neo-classical numerical illiteracy. They don't understand the simple fact that people with low or no incomes will need to spend their money back into the economy out of necessity...

Jealously stole your intellect.
I mean, how did Obama win? He promised, then gave, the biggest welfare state ever. We recipients like it now, but when it collapses, things will be worse than a toxic waste plant meltdown. Just a little nudge more, and Chicago will look like Detroit.
Because clearly that's the root cause of all your economic problems. When the collapse comes, it definitely has nothing to do with inequality, military spending, foreign policy, financial deregulation, market manipulations and corrupt banks. It was just welfare that ruined everything.
When did the world get so gormless?
All the other causes will be very unhappy that they were not invited to the party.
Why are you so mean?
Can't tell if the sarcasm was lost in my post somehow. I don't think there's a single cause and even if there was it definitely isn't welfare. There are likely dozens of causes, but lately all the scaremongering and scapegoating is on things like welfare and immigration and I'm sick of hearing it.
Hey INSANE socialist pig idiot, GET A FUCKING CLUE:

Here is a small excerpt:
...
Btw, Spain even taxes sunlight if you use solar panels.
And both Obama and France want to add a 16% tax on your internet use.
The system will continue to worsen until it expropriates every thing, which is exactly what causes 600 year Dark Ages, unless humanity finds a way to break out of the political inertia that holds the system together, i.e. the welfare and pension State where many people are dependent on the State.

Make sure you understand the IRON LAW of Political Economics (a.k.a. of Resource Statism).
Dependence (and welfare and pension dependents on the State) on the top-down does not optimize, rather it devolves every damn time since Mesopotamia. The definition of insanity is doing the same damn thing over and over again and expecting a different result (or continuing to make excuses and be in denial about the generative essence of the outcome).
