a Citizen’s Dividend makes you wealthy
The nature of government welfare means that a person reliant on welfare barely scrapes by while on it.
There may be individual cases of people abusing welfare to enrich themselves.
But, on a system-wide basis, large chunks of people on welfare can’t become wealthy.
On the other hand, the potential wealth generated by a Citizen’s Dividend (collected and redistributed from economic surplus from the commons) means that individuals can have decent lives with a humane source of income.
They won’t become millionaires from it alone, but they also won’t have to just live on table scraps like with traditional welfare.
