In my search for an answer to my ethical dilemma on welfare and abusing the system, I was basing what I thought was a good solution on my moral judgement. After reading The Emotional Dog and it's Rational Tail and Haidt's explanation for the "futility of moral arguments" I think it is very imporant to address both points of view; that of the tax payer and that of those receiving welfare (both those who use it and those who abuse it). In doing so I can try to escape the "I don'tknow" answer by presenting facts to support my choice. If after researching I find that my solution is still the same then I will be able to support my stance on the topic of welfare abuse.
