Someone whose life is subsidized by our tax money is living off our paycheck the same way a teenager is. They "have freedom" but if they want to live off our money they should be expected to follow whatever rules we want to enforce on them.
And if they don't like it, fucking good. Get a job and make your own rules then.
In fact, the rules for it should be absurd, humiliating and restrictive. That's the motivation to get off government dime faster. You shouldn't be allowed to have a "normal, happy" life on it. It should be the barest minimum to be considered living.
Make it worth based on what you are using it on, local farmers market does this all the time for SNAP users.
Buying meat/veggies? Its worth its full value so you get $10 worth it costs $10.
Buying soda/candy? Its worth 1/4 its value (ie, you spend $10 of your SNAP to get $2.50 in junk, the rest gets recycled back into the system or such to help pay for your fatass getting diabetes later).

SNAP bennies used to be a coupon book that poorfags had to tear out one by one. Now it looks like a debit card so they won't feel bad.
