More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

This answer aligns with conservative values of promoting self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on government assistance. Many conservatives support welfare reforms that encourage recipients to work and supplement their income, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which provides a refundable tax credit to low-income working individuals and families.

More

Conservatives generally support more restrictions on welfare benefits to encourage self-reliance and reduce dependency on government assistance. For example, the 1996 welfare reform under President Bill Clinton, which was supported by many conservatives, introduced work requirements and time limits for welfare recipients.

More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Many conservatives support more restrictions on welfare benefits for immigrants, believing that government assistance should be reserved for citizens and legal residents. This stance can be seen in the 1996 welfare reform, which limited access to federal benefits for non-citizens, as well as more recent proposals to further restrict welfare access for immigrants.

Strongly agree

More, current benefits should be capped

Capping welfare benefits is in line with conservative values of limiting government assistance and promoting self-reliance. This approach has been seen in various conservative-led welfare reforms, such as the aforementioned 1996 reform, which introduced time limits on benefits.

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled

While conservatives generally support more restrictions on welfare benefits, they may be more sympathetic to providing additional assistance to the elderly and disabled, who may have more difficulty achieving self-sufficiency. This can be seen in the general conservative support for programs like Social Security and Medicare, which primarily benefit the elderly.

Agree

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

While conservatives generally support ensuring that welfare benefits go to those who truly need them, they may not agree with the idea of fewer restrictions overall. This answer aligns with the conservative value of targeting assistance to the most vulnerable, but the emphasis on fewer restrictions may not resonate as strongly with conservative ideology.

Fewer

Very strongly disagree

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support

Conservatives generally do not believe that current welfare benefits are insufficient, and they often argue that increasing benefits could lead to greater dependency on government assistance. They are more likely to support measures that encourage self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, such as work requirements and time limits.
