I find it most irritating for those who are workshy. The scroungers on benefits - government handouts - who are generally unwilling or are not fullfilling enough of their work commitments. The individuals who are lacking the complete dedication to find and commit themselves to work. Rather, they seem to rely on social handouts and just simply leech without putting enough back into the system. The system cannot afford to keep up with all their demands, not to mention it is immoral of their behavior also.
However, of recent there have been myriad complaints of such kind where they have now fallen homeless and cry that their situation is the prey of government institutions. They whine and moan of how their government's have now decided that they must work to receive their benefits, which not only provides them with plenty of work to commit themselves to, but also the experience necessary to build the skills they need to enter the world of work.
"workfare" simply aims to get the economy moving and is an additional attempt at driving the country subject to it out of its recession. Its aim is to simply get things moving. However, these lazy bums simply just want to have free food, water and shelter -- they do not wish to work for it. Or at least don't put enough effort - work - into the system for this. Now that western government's are booting them up the backside to get into work, they cry "slavery!" whereas before they did little work or just simply faked job searches and scrounged through the system. Now most have fallen onto the streets due to their lack of effort and commitment to work.
It is simply the fault of their attitude towards work. If they committed themselves to work, then they would have what they needed and wouldn't be omitted from social assistance. Social assistance is to help those who are genuinely disabled and those who have been made redundant from work/are looking and wanting to work.
Don't forget that it's the money you pay into the system via taxes that are going to these workshy scroungers. The government has answered your calls and is now booting them into work!
[B]The solution?
[/B]Thankfully there are many who side to prevent rampant abuse of the benefits system. I can sympathize with many homeless and disabled if they tried to work but were unable to, or did work and were made redundant. However, it cannot be denied that there are many who simply didn't pick themselves up hard enough when they could and just quite simply refused to commit to their work ethics demanded by benefit institutions -- it is those of whom that cannot be sympathized. Sure, they're homeless and starving but it's their own damn fault for not prioritizing their work commitments. Now they're brought into the real world, they cry out in the name of some fantasy of human rights (which of course too is being rampantly abused by the likes of Cait Reilly).

Thankfully a leader is trying to prevent the nation from becoming lazy. Thankfully he's trying to prevent people from having a universal right to their most basic sustenance (free water, food, shelter and energy, and possibly communication!). Many of us working folk, like him too, believe that one should have to work for their survival. If they fall homeless and starving - if they weren't disabled/made redundant for any reason other than not working hard enough - then it's their own damn fault. Why should we the tax payers foot their bill?
Like I said, governments are finally taking action to boot these scroungers into work. For the incapacitated, it will soon mandate medical treatment - as it is now with assessments to determine if they're actually fit for work - through which it will then mandate them into work!

[B]Their solution?
[/B][/B]They believe that working should be an option. That somehow in this deluded fantasy of theirs that somehow other's would work to provide for sustenance (e.g. they'll say something like how money would be focused on those who keep society going rather than on footballers, politicians, bankers, etc, and will also say that this would attract people to work whilst providing an option to working (that people who provide sustenance would be paid more, and they believe in their delusion that this would attract people to work whilst enabling working to be an option)), that everyone wouldn't be able to fall homeless/into poverty. I'm sorry but I disagree: this would not work, period.
The system we have now is the best it can be. It's either work for your sustenance or you don't (unless you're wholly incapacitated/have paid for your retirement).

thought you were serious until that line.
What are you doing?
It's like I'm reading straight from an Ayn Rand piece.
when someone uses the term "workshy" it's a glaring sign that that person has shitty biases and will talk your ear off about how the poor all have flawed moral characters instead of being victims of circumstance
