Felonies, yes, misdemeanors, depends on the offence.

Yes, being over the age of 18, or having living relatives should remove one from receiving public monetary assistance.

It would really depend on the totality of the circumstances.

FALSE DICHOTOMY!

There should be no welfare. Period.

It would have a disparate impact on goblins, so it's a non-starter.

Yes, it should.  Maybe anything over a M-2?

You wanna live on .gov dime?  Then live by .gov rules.  But there has to be a provision to state your case should you be denied for assistance, maybe like a domestic relations hearing, a sit-down with a caseworker or some such.  Except violent felonies (robbery, murder, rape), automatic no-go for welfare IMO.  This would also be the time to reform our justice system a bit but that's a whole other thread.

I bet most posters here have got the "if you wanna live under this roof, you'll live by my rules" talk at least once in their lives from their parents, it's the same thing really.

It would be a good start, but would cause a shitstorm.

Y'all consider the fact that doing away with the Goblin's food stamps, etc. will only make them resort to commiting more crimes? It's not like they will just go willingly starve to death en masse if we defund their welfare.



A case could be made that giving them welfare is moraly the same as paying for 'protection'?
