How about this, welfare is needed for lots of different people. thousands of farmers are on welfare and yet labor like nobody else. Why? Becuase the government had to figure out a way to centralize the farming industry to allow a declining agriculture population, 10% of pop. to feed 90% of the heavily consuming population, many fat freaks in the city. To do this, they, unfortunately amalgamated corproations like Bayer and Monsanto to help the farmers, when nobody else was. Of course it is shitty what these companies are doing to farmers, but as more and more people flee to the city to work a minimum wage job that produces nothing and consumes everything the more the government will try to interfere to relief farmers by servitude.

A good start would be for fat fucks to get up off their asses and start farming, gardening and producing, in rural areas, and in the cities.

Americans scream welfare makes people wealthy, but what if welfare makes people lazy and raises taxes?

It doesn't make American's wealthy, and it doesn't make them lazy either, maybe some, but not all, and espeically not the farmers.

If the elites are trying to push Socialism on Americans to make Americans weak and dependent, wouldn't those who support tyranny be traitors?

It isn't really socialism per say, by corporatism and servitude.
