I could say the same for nuclear warfare . But alas while some prefer to rid the world...others of no political allegiance understand that humanity takes an effort to keep going.
May I inquire though what draws you to conclude it be voluntary?
Nuclear warfare? War affects us as a whole. How does welfare aka slavery affect us as whole? Does nuclear warfare involve some people being forced to work to feed others?

My understanding of slavery, is that the slave can't just quit being a slave, and become a slave owner whenever they want -that's why I think it's different.
I think welfare is the cheap option, and good for the economy.
I know what you are saying. I used to work with a certain segment of the population when I was in WV. Poor, few skills, low IQ, and quite a few drug addicts. I don't know what jobs some of them would qualify for - fast food . . . . maybe?
I remember looking at their children and wondering what chance a kid born into this family would have to be a productive member of society.
It was incredibly depressing and I counted my blessings every single time I left their homes and went to my own.
Increasing the number of persons on welfare increases the power and scope of the Government, which of course expands the power of the democrats who want big government, by adding democrat voters.
but, even worse, unmarried women with children are the greatest beneficiaries of welfare and the number of children born to unmarried mothers has grown rapidly as a percentage of all births. the democrats have lauded and normalized single mothers, the poorest demographic in our country. Democrats have used welfare to break down the nuclear family, the backbone of our western civilization. expanding welfare will obliterate western culture, eventually, as the family and especially fathers will be obliterated as the government takes over more and more financial responsibility for unmarried women and children.

The work ethic often gets lost in the way our welfare system is set up. We need to see a stronger work connection to welfare for those able bodied.
I would like to see an investment in more trade schools. Allow we need high schools and prisons to offer more trade schooling also.
Instead of so much foreign aid to countries that hate us, invest in trade schools and scholarships for training electricians, plumbers, auto mechanics, masons, carpenters. Then force companies to hire Americans instead of illegals for those trades.
Rest assured most conservatives/Republicans believe in a safety net (which includes welfare) for those citizens who are not able-bodied, and genuinely need our societies assistance to survive.`
THIS is what I mean when I say that so-called “conservatives” are gutless cowards.
Instead of correctly understanding that ALL taxation is theft, they want to maintain the status quo of the State confiscating our income and giving it to others without our consent.
ALL welfare needs to be abolished immediately.
