   History over the centuries repeatedly shows us in   
   country after country, the best "General Welfare"   
   is provided by free enterprise, capitalism   
   supported by free humans making free decisions   
   in their own best interest, while having private   
   property rights.  This requires a limited and   
   controlled government.   
   -----------------------   
   Unfortunately history from ancient Athens onward shows that part of the   
   population is unwilling or incompetent to make decisions in their own future   
   best interest, and become drunks, addicts, beggars, thieves or socialists,   
   or a combination thereof. I suspect we all know some of them, including from   
   their childish bitter-loser postings here.   
      
   The US government does offer them support, but never as much as they think   
   they deserve.

   "In 1969, Richard Nixon proposed the Family Assistance Plan, which included   
   a guaranteed minimum income in the form of a negative income tax."
