Ah yes, Aesop.
The ants work hard all summer, producing products and services, such as in manufacturing, farming, and transportation. Grasshoppers laugh and dance and play all summer, without producing anything.
Come winter though, the productive ants are hungry and shivering, while the unproductive grasshoppers are warm and well-fed! How did this happen?
Easy: the grasshoppers own the land the hardworking ants live and work on. The grasshoppers collect land taxes from the ants, but call it land "rent". Since the grasshoppers did not produce the land, these land taxes (land "rent" payments) are really welfare payments to grasshoppers.
Some grasshoppers are somewhat productive, providing building maintenance for their tenants. But the part of the "rent" that is simply a payment for using the land, which the grasshoppers did not make, is simply a land tax, used for welfare payments to grasshopper- landlords.

It's the same thing here in the states. Your arguement has many tiers to it so I'll just keep it simple. There are "grasshoppers" who are lazy or play too much or just don't want to work. Those are the ones who should not get government aid. Then there are "grasshoppers" who no matter how hard they work they can't get ahead so that aid from the government is a little extra help. Well they revamped that system here in the states in the early 1990s and depeneding on who you talk to the opinion varies. Instead of giving you cash and food stamps now they give you a monthly atm card with cash on it. Some people still found a way to get around the system. There's always gonna be people who are gonna need help to get to that successful part of life. Help those who you THINK are in need and want to help themsevles. I wouldn't stop just because some people want to be takers instead of trying to get help and become somebody. !teacher!
