What is the state of your country?

When we talk about the U.S. system and some(to include me) see it as a way of helping people that are in a hole. Others see it as people being lazy and working the system. We are talking about two different groups of people, the legits and the illegits. Our goverment works at making people dependent on them. To them you either need assistence or you don't, period. Take for example a single mother of (insert number). If she is working a job but is not making enough money to support her family it is beneficial to her to quit work altogether because she can't provide through her job. The goverment is all or nothing. There is no increments of help. You are totally dependent on the goverment or you don't get anything. They don't reward trying, they only reward failing.
Same with medical. If you don't work and don't have anything you can get all the medical you want. If you are trying to make it, the answer is sell whatever you have in order to pay medical bills. All or nothing.
If you are on welfare etc there should be a work corps that you go to for the state or federal goverment doing work on public land, working a farm, providing daycare for others, job training, etc.
When you are working but not making enough to support your family you should be elegible for incremental benefits. You make so much you get so much. You get so much benefits you provide so much time to community service.
We are supposed to be one of the most civilized countries in the world and no one should go hungry or go without medical care. It should be your right as an American.
A system should be put in place that does not reward failing but rewards trying.
