Do you think it's fair to redistribute wealth from the rich to support the poor, and why?
The origins of welfarism can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Western Europe and North America. The harsh conditions faced by many workers and their families during this time led to calls for government intervention to improve living standards and protect the rights of workers. This led to the establishment of various social welfare programs, such as public health initiatives, unemployment insurance, and old-age pensions.
