You're always going to have someone looking to gain from the system. The thing is, I don't care. Most people want a sense of fulfillment more than they want anything else, and that usually comes from being productive. Not always in the "get a job, earn money" way, but in the "I'm going to create, in a way that makes me happy" sense. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, even finding that thing that fulfillment is such an upward battle because it requires a ton of resources. Time, energy, money. Things the destitute don't have. Let the few be lazy, fuck it you'll never get rid of lazy from society, stop trying, it's just hurting the regular man. Focus on bringing the bottom up, and the whole of society benefits.
