Welfare isn& #39;t a handout, it& #39;s not a gift, it& #39;s not charity. It& #39;s the price the state has to pay for failing to create necessary jobs for people. It& #39;s compensation, and it& #39;s compensation that is currently far lower than what people deserve. It should be at wage level.

Unemployment income support is lower than wages to terrify workers into submission by threatening them with poverty if they misbehave!!! And to force unemployed people into exploitation to get out of brutal poverty and into brutal work!
