Eugh. With the downvotes, really? How naive are people? Yep, I understand what you’re saying. And that’s usually how it works. But f# me if it doesn’t work like that a lot of the time. And my point is (and I think what the other person who started this chain means) that when people who could have enough and not take advantage of the welfare system (like many many people do where I live) do take advantage, the hammer comes down and less fortunate people miss out.

Far out these downvotes and comments. Some of these people need to grow up/have more birthdays and/or get a lesson in reading comprehension. If someone can afford designer boots and weed but won’t buy groceries they have made a choice & they are taking advantage of the welfare system. When they do, the people in charge of the welfare system see this and tighten the purse strings and make it so that people who actually need it begin to suffer and miss out.

Seconded!
