- Sven7 13y agoMy problem isn't with welfare for those born disadvantaged, its with lazy hipsters.
- dreamfactory 13y agoWhich would account for a much tinier proportion. Sounds like your problem is more moral than based on any real-world impact on your take-home pay :) In reality very few people will actually choose to sit around on the dole, particularly as they grow up a bit. I can't prove it of course but it does bring to mind the old theory that the welfare system unwittingly seeded R+D for the UK's creative industry (up through the 80's at least), and which has turned out to become a major UK export.
