I'd love for the welfare state we have now to be done away with but it'd be tough. Especially when all the support systems that were acting as a safety-net of sorts aren't anywhere near to the point they were pre-welfare.
Family units are fucked so you don't have relatives around to help someone get on their feet; communities are nonexistent because no one has close ties to anyone else in their neighborhood; most people aren't religious (and religious people give the most to charitable causes) so churches can't help their community near as effectively as they could (if they're even around) and tnese non-religious people will only give to pet causes that do nothing to help the people where they live, if they even give at all... You need these already existing social ties and relations to be that safety net in lieu of the government but since Mommy government has stepped in they've all withered away on the vine and made government all but irreplaceable and that'll only get worse as family and social ties continue to decay.
