And that's the problem with those screaming no welfare. It all comes back to this comment right here and this comment is about greed pure and simple. I can understand there's problems with the system. I can understand it might cause some bad things like laziness for some. But when the argument shifts from that to I want more money I just can't see the moral compass being in favor of your arguments anymore.
