The world would be a better place, I think, if more people understood the true purpose of food stamps, welfare, and the rest of the social service net. So let me help.
Properly understood, food stamps and unemployment provide the wealthy with a measure of security and protection. Starving people tend to commits acts of desperation. They riot and go on crime sprees, with the damage disproportionately affecting the rich.
Don't believe me? Well, what do YOU think would happen if the poor were left to starve? For the answer, look back on every society in human history that mistreated the lower classes. The outcome was always (always!) the same. The rich people lost their heads.
If you don't deal poor people into the game, the table eventually gets flipped over. The ruling class in America knows this. They understand that the price of food stamps and unemployment insurance is more than worth the civil order it provides. The welfare checks aren't issued out of a sense of generosity. The motivating force isn't charity, but self-interest.
So, properly understood, the small pittance the poor receive is actually a "Please don't riot and send us to the guillotine" fee paid by the wealthy. Its not a service. Its a sop. The real benefit is received by those who are protected when the poor are well fed.
