You realize that in your scenario, the people like yourself getting mugged will most likely suffer casualties as well, you're ok with that?

Point being is people who are beneficiaries of social services now will not let themselves be kicked out on the street and denied food. They'll find an extrajudicial way to survive

i'd rather weed out parasites than subsidize them. I don't deny the short term cost but it would be better in the long run.

Pretend? Your question doesn't make sense, at least the way you worded it. Put it in layman's terms and we can have a convo....

You realize that at least half the beneficiaries are children, do you not?

yes and if there was a way to JUST give aid to the children I would fully support it. The long term goal would be to eliminate generational welfare/poverty so fewer children are born into squalor

you act like every little old lady is going to have her purse stolen. That is just rubbish - a scare tactic. if robberies did increase it would most likely be stores burglarized. fewer and fewer people carry cash and credit cards are getting better at fraud protection.
