Question

How did Social Darwinists feel about providing government welfare to the poor?

Answer 1

John Maynard Keyes designed the current welfare system so that the poor would spend money on basic products that they could not otherwise afford. Milk, bread...etc

This was good for the producers of milk, bread etc...

Social Darwinists would say that welfare was created to benefit the corporations that produce milk, bread...etc

and anyone who thinks that welfare rewards poverty and perpetuates it, has no concept of what being poor is like, and does not understand basic economics

Answer 2

If you reward poverty, you will get more of it.
