Trouble with the Welfare State of the Anglo-European description is that it isn't about doing anything to lift anybody on Government Assistance -- consumption of wealth, not producing greater, or a surplus, of wealth -- off of it. Under the Welfare State, what in practice the Poor remain is -- poor.

Not getting out of poorness. Anybody honest actually got rich on the dole? (I'm excluding clever grifters -- and even the cleverest of these aren't producing any economic surplus, are they?)

That's inimical, the not getting out.

And what actor but the state is doing that inimical thing? I think I see who's really anti-poor.
