I would say no on that one. You must remember that programs such as welfare are created using tax dollars so you would be taking money out of my and every other taxpayers pocket because the more demand their is for welfare the more they will take for it.
Unless of course, like Ragnar, you wanted to repay the taxpayers w/ the money earned in an amount directly proportional to the amount taken from each person... Which, needless to say, won't happen.
