Welfare isn't completely different unless the person has never worked a day in their life. If they have worked and paid taxes, they have paid into welfare, plain and simple. There just isn't the equivalent of a social security or medicare line on their pay check for welfare.
Now, if somebody hasn't worked a day in their life, then they are living off of you and I.
Another issue I have is with how poorly the federal government runs both social security and medicare. It is utterly nuts. I would rather keep my social security contribution and invest it myself, rather then let them handle it for me. What they started a long time ago that was something good, has turned into a disaster.
