其实中国人所说的吃福利 （welfare），更正确的应为吃 救济 （assistance）

different kind of "welfare"

1.  social security, pension, unemployment insurance, worker's comp, medicare, this is called entitlement.  Right exists under the law (or contract), after you performed your obligation (paying into it). 

2.  school, police, fire, court service, these are government services.  

3.  tax deduction, these are just tax.  

4. assistance: 这个才是真正的救济。

 

所有跟帖： 

• 有道理，但tax deduction 也是因为你特殊的情况才有的，至少要算做政府补贴吧？ -amicus_mass- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/18/2017 postreply 07:58:21

• 你想叫什么都可以，但不是救济。 -柠檬椰子汁- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/18/2017 postreply 08:06:46
