Welfare Should Be Abolished.

I'm really unsure where to begin in this round because Con stated his argument in R1. So I will begin by refuting his argument now, then by defending my argument. Con states "Getting Rid of welfare would help very few, but it would harm many. Who would you be trying to help by not having welfare?" Here, con agrees that abolishing of welfare would do some people good. He did not negate my topic, but agreed to it. Con then says it would harm many, yet he doesn't provide any proof for such a statement. Con says "Who would you be trying to help by not having welfare?"Taxpayers. They wont need to pay for people who misuse it, or don't put it in use for what its actually provided for. Con states "Do you believe that it would help people on welfare find the motivation to find work? Study s show that an average person in the USA if missing two pay checks could be homeless." It's obvious for any family. If they have one less income, it's possible for anyone to become homeless. Not only those who depend on welfare. Con goes on to say that 'This welfare helps the sick and keeps people from being so desperate that they kidnap the rich like they do in other countries with a large gap between the billionaires and the incredibly desperate." Con believes that welfare is provided for criminals because they steal from the rich. Does this mean we still provide them with money? Defending my case; "What would happen to the poor if welfare was eliminated? What would happen is a small percentage of them would find employment with no Medicare and most likely not making enough to support a family. We are also living in a technilogical revolution which is making it so machines can do allot of factory work that has employed people for generation, other job such as ones provided by GM motors, the biggest USA employer in until the 1980s, have outsauced dew to globalisation. " It's not new news that machines build most things that we make. They put together toys, cars etc. We don't need employees for this since machines already do this for us. A person should go to college to get a degree if they really wish to get a higher paying job. Some jobs don't even require a degree. Arguing that machines have taken away jobs from employers is false. this has been going on for many years. Your rebuttal is invalid. "NY State Police-Malone said via WPTZ that those arrested were using their food stamp cardsin a manner that was against the law.Well how canwe judge what the poor, desperate, mentally and phyically sick spend what little money they are given on?" Con argues that these people who have stolen and committed illegal crimes are okay. They should suffer no consequences, and the actions they commuted are okay. He merely states that these people have a reason (which is okay) to commit these illegal crimes. Con says ". Charity's are not as affective as the federal government and cannot be relied upon to support yourself and a family and take away small digneties which i believe everyone is entitled to but espesially the children and pentioners and the disabled who deserve it." Yet, he doesn't prove to us *how* its not effective. After all, every little bit counts.
