I have seen generation after generation of families from my old hometown who refused to work because they would lose all of their benefits, so they just stayed home and had more kids to receive more benefits. Then their kids did the same thing. What a horrible situation, the only thig the kids know is that if I don't do anything, I get rewarded.
I am not shocked at the people abusing society...I see it everyday. But when someone breaks the law "theft" at least there are some consequences...if caught. The people who refuse to work have no consequence...they just get more and more benefits.
If we had a graduated benefits system that made it an incentive to be a productive member of society it might work better, I just know that giving people more of something for nothing is NOT the answer. And I should not have to pay for their non-working benefits from my hard earned money.
