I find it very difficult to describe that as an "excellent" system... A GOOD system is the one which helps hard workers to lift themselves from being poor in any meaningful way (less bureaucracy, more help with kids, less taxes, more subsidies etc.) rather than one that prevents an easy improvement. What OP described ain't that good, unless your primary goal is to have nice low stats for unemployment.

This is true. Someone in a low paid job used to be able to work overtime (often at a premium) or get a second job. The current system disincentives old fashioned hard work as any extra money earned equates to a drop in benefits received.
