Ah so your problem is with people who abuse the welfare system. Come right out and say it then, because it sounds like you're against the disabled who actually need it.

Do you mean President Trump, who donates his entire paycheck?

The problem is about 95% of welfare recipients are abusing it.

Ah, well no argument there.
Pretty long winded way to make an argument, I must say.

No, I'll be donating mine to the workers at supermarkets who are working, risking their lives and those of their families, to keep you and me fed.
Most welfarers will be using theirs to buy more luxuries.

Do you really think people can't survive without welfare? How do they manage in countries without it?
The short answer is they don’t. Extreme poverty, lack of access to clean water, housing and medical care are all ingredients for violent bloody revolution. America with its slanted tax code to benefit those with the most money is trending in this direction.
What is needed is a redistribution of opportunity so that everyone can get a sense of upward mobility through hard work, not them and us handouts. There are multiple examples of this in our own backyard of South America.
The current crisis may act as a tipping point in Venezuela for example, spilling into neighboring countries and creating a hemispherical disintegration that could lead to millions of refugees rushing the US southern border. No doubt Mr Trump’s magnificent unbuilt Wall will hold them back.

That would include the recipients of corporate welfare no doubt?

Many low wage workers get benefits because employers like Wal-Mart won't give them enough hours.

Why would anybody want to leave a socialist utopia like Venezuela to go to what you describe as the most awful, r****t, h********c, xenophobic, sexist, white-supremacy patriachy on earth to become a victim of income ine******y?

If by corporate welfare you mean taxpayer-supplied stadiums for pro sports, or taxpayer-funded green boondoggles like Solyndra, or taxpayer handouts to Hollywood producers and stars, or building factories for Tesla, then yes. Absolutely!
