Will Fred Göcken's job loss ignite a backlash against welfare critics?

Question

The firing of someone for voicing concerns about welfare benefits is stirring up real anger. Is this just a case of ideological intolerance or are there legitimate reasons companies shy away from such criticism?

Answer

This move could backfire, showing how easily dissent gets silenced in the name of social programs.

Answer

Maybe firing someone for criticizing welfare is harsh but it's also about protecting public morale and trust in these systems. Losing a job over controversial views isn't unique to this case either.
