More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

Many liberal democracies support the idea of welfare benefits supplementing, rather than replacing, a working income. This approach is often seen as a way to encourage work while still providing a safety net for those in need. For example, the Earned Income Tax Credit in the United States is designed to supplement the income of low-wage workers.

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

Ensuring that welfare benefits go to those who need them most is a common goal in liberal democracies. By reducing restrictions and targeting support towards vulnerable populations, liberal democracies can work towards a more equitable and efficient welfare system. For example, many European countries have means-tested benefits to ensure that support is directed towards those in need.

Agree

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support

Many liberal democracies argue that current welfare benefits do not provide enough support for vulnerable populations, such as the poor, elderly, and disabled. For example, the United States has seen debates over the adequacy of programs like Social Security and food assistance programs, with many arguing for increased benefits and fewer restrictions.

Agree

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled

Liberal democracies often prioritize support for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and disabled. Increasing benefits for these groups while implementing more restrictions on others could be seen as a targeted approach to welfare reform. For example, many European countries have specific programs and benefits for the elderly and disabled.

Agree

Fewer

Liberal democracies often advocate for social safety nets and welfare benefits to support vulnerable populations. However, the extent to which they support fewer restrictions can vary depending on the specific policy and context. For example, some liberal democracies, such as the Nordic countries, have more generous welfare systems with fewer restrictions.

More

Slightly disagree

More, current benefits should be capped

Strongly disagree

More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Denying benefits to immigrants is generally not in line with the values of liberal democracies, which often emphasize inclusivity and equal treatment. However, some liberal democracies may implement restrictions on welfare benefits for recent immigrants or those without legal status, such as the United States' Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.
