jumping_redditor comments on 71% of Americans say the US should spend more on "assistance to the poor". But if you use the word "welfare" that number drops to 30%

there are governmental systems that would disagree on that last point.

And they would be immoral and evil if they suggest letting disabled people die off. Yes, I know about Libertarians and their selfish, egotistical, unempathetic views towards people less well off than they are. Anyone who believes "every man, woman, and child for themselves" is how a society should function is a piece of shit, sorry. And obviously you can lump Conservatives in with them on this issue too.

I could see a religions having a belief that being burdensome is a fate worse than death and a government then mandating that religion. Which admittedly goes against human rights, but is done in a few countries.
