Actually, not a bad deal for the handout crowd: get those many freebies and all that's expected of them in return is to vote RAT. Not a bad deal at all.
Actually, it is an incredibly bad deal for them.
No ambition.
No drive.
No self respect.
No independence.
...and coupled with the “feree” government education they are given:
No chance to know any better and climb out.
At least not for the vast, vast majority.
And ultimately...it all comes apart when enough people and their succeeding generations get on it and the money they take from the hard woking people runs out.
At that time, they become e cannon ofdder for the power mongers controlling their lives and it leads to their genocide by such tyrants.
