“We support this legislation”
Social Assistance Work Requirement Act of 2023
Rationale
Solidarity must not break down. Solidarity is a cornerstone of our social system, and receiving benefits is not an obligation; therefore, it is the duty of every unemployed person to give something back to those in work by making a minimal contribution to society.
