Perhaps an interesting topic to debate: should your country have a social security system that gives hundreds of dollars every month (, euros, &c) to people who are not even looking for a job, yet are physically able to work nonetheless?
If so, should there be a limit to it?
UPDATE
I believe that welfare should be completely abolished. In the Netherlands we have a system in which people receive a specific amount of money: no ‘rules’ about what they have to spend it on.
I am in favor of supporting the physically and mentally disabled financially.
I am in favor of supporting people who are trying to find a job, but fail doing so, financially. There should be a limitation: four years tops. Sorry to say, but if you cannot find a job, any job, within four years time, you’re not trying hard enough. One of the demands should be that one is actively trying to find a job. If one isn’t, one does not receive any money.
Lastly, I am partially in favor of supporting the elderly: I do believe, though, that we in the Netherlands should work to a system in which people are fully able to save enough money for their own retirement, instead of depending on government aid to be able to quit working when they are, for instance, 65 years old.
