Loading ...It seems to me that if you paid for something its NOT welfare !
I paid for Social Security for 60 years and in addition I was self employed so I paid the employers half ALSO ..Thats hardly welfare, mandated by Law under threat of imprissionment.
I agree with “benefits” not paid for but not SS.
In Virginia as far as un employment is concerned the EMPLOYER pays it all ,the employee nothing .The State nothing, thats not welfare either ! You need to be specific and not Generalize !
