That would all change if the well-meaning liberal type people decided to give them welfare payments. Take away the incentive to work and make a living, and many people will just wallow in Govt support. There are generations of such people in the west (especially blacks in USA) - they blame everyone but themselves and are always demanding more 'support'. The reason everyone works here (save for very few) is that there is no alternative - and I say keep that alternative away. In the 70s social welfare in the west was just starting - it has grown beyond all estimations and is out of control - but try to take it away and you will be voted out. 

I don't think "everyone works here"

 

I see more people leeching off their family than anywhere I ever been to.....

Work, Live in a Temple, or get the Family to look after you. 

They are the options and that should be it - welfare will make things much worse.
