Yes, and after the regime being established here in Europe I am certainly not for blowing up the bureaucratic moloch even more.

But as I said: stamps for the essential needs of life, food, school items for the kids and education for them, and so on. These are attached to a certain purpose, that'S why they are stamps.

Social wellfare can additionally include a - much smaller - ammount of money - the aid that it is right now, but minus the vlaue of the food stamps, and then some. That gives a person or parents the ablity to jhave a small financial reserve that can be sdpend on chips and chocolate per week, theatre per month, cinema per month for the kids, soft drinks cigarettes or whatever it is. What I am about is to limit the access to thes ethings as long as the general community has to come up for it.

I also think, as I said, that the state should not sell unhealthy products in its own shops, like it should not raise taxes on tobacco, make a profit from that, but having rising health costs due to smoking-induced diseases. Or alcohol - the same issue. You cannot make a believable policy against alcohol or nicoteine especially for protecting the young ones if you have a profitable income from selling it, while the general community has to pay for the follow-up costs.
