The money for welfare, or if you want to get technical income maintenance programs, is taken by force and extortion, its disbursement is Byzantine and the ROI on reserves lousy. How bad is it? Taxes in excess of 100% have been reported for both France and Sweden; the UK and the Netherlands are blanketed by security cams and (not a joke) microphones; and police and tax evasion is so pervasive that France, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Romania are used as tax havens. (The tax schedules for those last five countries read like they were devised by an occupying army but no one pays those taxes.)

So why does anyone in their right mind live in Europe, much less use it as a model for the US? Really good question. Since civilization is an environment why was there no attempt to determine what sort of adaptation was taking placing? Well after 1859 everyone accepted the word of Darwin that selection is slow. So another question that went unasked is what assurance do we have that selection is not fast? Almost none.

Dog and more rarely horse breeds can be established in one breeder’s life time. In humans it takes longer but alcoholics and homosexuals are definitely declining in frequency of occurrence. Augustus and Claudius were completely straight and that was considered notable among the early Caesars which is why I mention it. Among the later Caesars it became notable if they were gay or bi. Alcoholism is a trait (actually set of traits) subject to even greater selective pressure. The rise of brewing and distillation in the 1300s dampened European population growth despite the growth of food supplies per capita until at least the 1770s. (Distillation and food crops were imported from first China and then later the Americas added more food crops. “Atlas of World Population History“ McEvedy and Jones is my source. The UK is still far from optimal food production but the rate of population growth from 1500-1750 was lower than 800-1300 or 1750 to the present.) Toddlers were dying of alcoholism in the streets of London as late as the early 1800s.

In other populations addictive personalities are being selected out by cocaine, heroin and other drugs. I lack a time machine to go back and measure addictive personality rates in the 1700s but I can state with fair confidence that it was much higher than today’s estimated 10+% rate. So the welfare state advocates are clueless that changes in policy = changes in the environment and therefore selection pressure but then so are constitutionalists and libertarians for the most part.

There are many sets of constituencies in favor of welfare:
The bureaucrats who generally have military preference and therefore know how to use a gun.
Those trying to get their own back.
Those who are playing the system.
Non-citizens.
The people the income maintenance plans were intended to protect plus their relatives.

Groups 3 & 4 are the initial target. As to group 3 train them in skills desired in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland then aid them in filling out the assisted immigration forms for those and other nations so they can be someone else’s problem. As to group 4 when payout reaches pay in - deportation costs deport them. That still leaves three rather large constituencies.

Volunteering for reversible sterilization in order to obtain welfare benefits when payout approaches pay in will reduce the long term effects from groups 2 & 5 as well as 3 & 4. I have no objection to helping out a Ray Charles nor his reversing the sterilization once he is paying his own way. Umpty-ump kids he has and pays for is his business, umpty-ump kids he has and I help pay for is my business. The retarded guy who bags for me at Publix or Wal-Mart and pays his market rent at the half-way house should be free to handle his own business to the extent that he can. But group 2 has been subjected to criminal behavior and is a much more touchy subject
