Back to the original point: I suspect this is a joke, but in case it isn't, forcing welfare recipients to work as cleaners demeans both the position and the welfare recipient. It takes away from paying positions that are created by someone wanting to spend less time on cleaning and more on other things, so they are willing to part with their hard earned money to hire someone else. It also removes freedom from the man who owns that house, forcing them to endure someone doing a position because they are obligated and not because they want to be there.
demeans the welfare recipient - so what?
takes away from paying positions - so what?
that is good because then we can have 2 free servants - good for the economy long term.
Owner is not obligated to have a servant, but if he does then it will be free - thus giving him more money to create jobs and trickle down wealth.

Ah, I see. This is an attempt to ridicule an opposing position by taking an extreme stance.
Workfare has many opponents. You don't need to turn it in to a caricature of itself in order to make an argument. In fact, taking such a simplistic and extreme view of what is a complex issue in this manner isn't really effective in either communicating or getting people's passions going. It's transparent and doesn't have the depth to provoke thought like some real subversive humor has.
Make all Welfare claimants be servants for those earning above 80k/year.
this would give them all some pride and help the economy out.
Unemployed welfare people would have to work full-time at the local mansions but people working at places such as Wallmart would only need to serve part-time - say at the weekends cleaning the toilets or something similar.
does anyone think this is the way forward?
Another problem with your theory is what if most of the rich people don't want a stranger, let alone a poor stranger being in thier house around thier valuables?

I wouldn't trust these people in my house.
If they had the desire to work, they would have jobs.
I would, however, force them to show up at a government run center daily at 9am and punch a time card....and then come back at noon to punch out, 1pm back in and 5pm to punch out for the day. They would be docked their "pay" for every time card punch they miss.
Some of them may just say "I might as well get a job!"
