Also there are some abuses of the system, however, as I said earlier, it has to do with the fact that the only jobs available for people with no skills are minimum wage with NO benefits. How do people pay for rent and food on that salary? Also how do they pay for their very expensive psychotropic medication and hefty healthcare fees. If you are living in poverty you are under a lot of stress which any person with common sense would understand causes a great deal more of mental health issues and health problems. I still think it sounds pretty off that the people "are happy with the way things are."

I'm not talking about people with mental health problems. I've been to my little brother's apt. complex. I've run into a few of these folks. You wouldn't know that they were social services leaches. I agree that welfare gives a better life than many low-wage jobs. For someone in "family law", I've seen how damned easy it is to get DHS to give out benefits packages -- often in situations where they SHOULD ask questions, they don't (in fact, I've never heard of them rejecting an application). You're bringing a bunch of crap into this that I didn't even bring up. Sure, crazy people need drugs.. when was I saying that we should take away their lithium??
