> I couldn't get more than like $50 monthly while I was unemployed and in dire need, and that was requiring lots of documentation why didn't you try fraud if you think it's so easy? It's mindboggling to see you argue that somehow the rules that made it hard for you to get social support are somehow waived for others. The country isn't facing bankruptcy because children are getting food. The country is facing bankruptcy because billionaires are getting so much welfare in the form of tax cuts and low wages - their employees can't afford food and rent while working full time jobs to help the leeches amass even more wealth.

>why didn't you try fraud if you think it's so easy? Because I'm not a criminal? I have too much to lose, and frankly I don't know the system. I know roughly the kinds of things that would get me paid but it's not easy for an honest person. Some of the fraud is also, no doubt, in the form of under-reporting income or not updating the records with your current household status. >It's mindboggling to see you argue that somehow the rules that made it hard for you to get social support are somehow waived for others. The rules apply VERY differently based on a large number of factors. Without going too far into it, I am 100% certain that being an "asylum seeker" (aka an economic migrant to those of us who know) will get you paid. I can't fake that, it's not worth it. Also, I'd have needed it 10+ years ago, not today. >The country isn't facing bankruptcy because children are getting food.

The rich are getting richer but it's mostly because they know how to work the system. It's NOT because poor people are getting screwed generally, or because they deserve more money in an economic sense. Every productive industry is being outsourced or else flooded with immigrant workers, and this has gone on for decades. The rich don't HAVE enough to pay for the welfare state or higher wages for uncompetitive workers. If you want to be mad about something, be mad that our politicians allowed the country to be hollowed out.

  Industry doesn't get flooded - rich people flood it with immigrants so they can pay less. the politicians are bought by the rich.

    I mean industry as a sphere of human activity, not industry as a collection of corporate interests. Of course it's all about money, but that doesn't excuse all the plebs who have been brainwashed into supporting infinite immigration.
