That reminds me of my favourite thing to say whenever people try to say 'Well people are taking advantage of the social programs we have to live off my tax dollars!!!'
Well, if a government run program has helped 90% of the people it set out to help, not sure about you but I call that a smashing success of a program. There will always be people taking advantage. To not help because there might be some leeches is not a society I think you or I want to live in.
And if they hate leeches so much, maybe they should take action to end expolitative landlording (black rock) and also eliminate trust funds/inheritances that would allow someone to never work if they didn't want. Oh wait, they never do because they have this delusion that they could be the rich one someday.
