These people are our future

Money is no longer money when you force someone to give it to another person without them providing value on that exchange. The only reason money has any value is because other people produce things of value. That money is a claim on men who produce. Your money is a statement of hope that somewhere in the world there are men who will not default on the moral principle which is the root of your money. When money is redistributed from this outcome, from people who did produce to people who didn't, money loses part of its value.

Look at it this way. If you simply printed a quadrillion dollars and gave it to everyone in the US, how much would that money be worth? This isn't the same, but look at it this way too. If you took all of the money and wealth in the world from the rich and put them on the street, and gave it to the poor, the poor would find themselves in a world where there money would buy much less than it could before.

They are providing value. A happy, educated, healthy society is better for all. Rather than a divided society of have and have nots.

Your missing the point. This is not voluntary exchange. When someone is given welfare from the government from tax money that person has not been been given that money in exchange for nothing. Whether or not they choose to use that money to better themselves or not is entirely up to them. Giving someone money does not ensure a healthy or undivided society.
