You didn't use the word abuse, but it sure does look like you're saying the system is corrupt, messed up, and in general bad. To me that is the same as saying it's being abused.

I think you and I are looking at the problem from different angles. You see the overall result of people not properly taking advantage of the system and instead just wallowing. You also claim that problem is widespread.

I acknowledge that problem exists, however I feel that the overwhelming majority of people who are being helped by social programs are in fact benefitting from the system.

Also, I'm still grasping for what the overall point that everyone is lobbing at me, other than an abstract distaste for social programs. So if someone wants to consolidate this point of view then maybe I'd be able to more accurately address whatever concerns there are rather than trying to run people's brains in circles.
