I'm concerned about the welfare states being created by government handouts.

Generous welfare states can encourage people to stay in poverty or lead people to view work as optional rather than essential. This can lead to long-term economic and societal problems. Governments need to focus on creating real, sustainable pathways out of poverty that reward hard work. Additionally, government programs must provide the resources and support needed to make such pathways possible.
