The quote you posted somehow mirrors the sentiment here in the US. Some political parties echo the same discourse.

Quote:
The survey suggested 54% believed social security benefits were too high and discouraged people from finding jobs, up from 35% in 1983 when the study was first carried out.
To some extent this is true. I knew a person who was getting more money staying unemployed than actually working a job. He remained in the system until his time was up. He then went and got a job in under a week. People learn to work the system.
