Charles Murray Charles Murray’s essay “Choosing a Future” depicts what the future would be like if all federal transfer payments to the poor were abolished. Murray is convinced if our country did away with all federal transfer payments such as AFDC, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, ect… that our country would be better off. Murray seems to be overly optimistic about our future without welfare. Murray seems to think that every one who is on welfare and any other federal benefits would be forced to find a job. If they cannot find a job then they would have to rely on their families or private charities for support. Anyone who cannot achieve this would be considered to have “fallen between the cracks.” Murray states that this would be a very small percentage of the population and that we have no obligation to help them because they only have their selves to blame.
