It should be so simple. It's not a matter of having *bad fortune in life*. Most welfare recipients are deadbeats with a huge entitlement mentality, and are third and fourth generation recipients; their parents did it, their grandparents did it and their great grandparents did it. It's become a career choice, not a safety net.
If you're going to mooch off the government instead of getting off your butt and getting an education and working for a living, you take what you get. Welfare SHOULD come with strings attached. No free rides, ever......
Even if it was, people in that boat should be grateful that they live in a country that even offers welfare. In many other countries people who run into hard luck are pretty much thrown to the wolves.
