Duels are cool as sh́t and they should not be illegal. If someone says some hot garbage I should have the right to kill them in honorable combat.

Individual charity and religious work will help the downtrodden more than any other welfare program.

Worked great in the depression, right?

Everyone was poor in the great depression, a lot of survival was based on communities working together. I fail to see your point.

Just saying a lot of people starved or went homeless with no safety net.

A lot of people didnt starve or go homeless through religious aid and charities.

But private institutions weren't capable of helping everyone who was in need, especially not on a long term basis like the current welfare system in the US is set up to do. Disabled and elderly people even in good times were bad off without social security as well.

Perhaps. But the welfare system is prone to its abuses. And I have my own opinions on keeping the elderly and disabled arundel but I won't go into that.

A simple Wikipedia article says otherwise. Of 143000 allegations, only 8k cases were opened and 1.2k were convictions out of literally millions on welfare. That's negligible.

Your article contradicts itself.

"Welfare fraud is widespread, but in most cases it is committed by people who are struggling financially. In a 1997 study, 30 of 34 interviewed welfare recipients admitted fraud"

I was specifically looking at the US.

"A 1988 study of 50 Chicago women on welfare found that 80% worked either full-time or part-time, but none of them reported their income to the welfare office."

"Surveys conducted during the 1970s in Seattle and Denver showed that 50% of recipients admitted to "cheating" in order to get by financially."

"In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, an ex-fraud investigator for IDPA estimated that 25 to 50% of welfare recipients had committed some degree of fraud."

"A study of 450 welfare recipients in Orange County, California, found that 45% of them had committed fraud."

Cases opened and prosecuted are not an accurate indication of the overall number of people actually committing a crime. Especially in areas where there is little political will to push through with prosecutions.
