1AC Welfare rests on a fallacy and a myth. The fallacy is what logicians call Composition, reasoning from properties of the parts of a whole to properties of the whole.

But we are all individually responsible for our fates, a responsibility that cannot be undone by forcing some people to pay for the heedlessness of
