That said, as a tax payer I am happy to support those destitute and in genuine need. But this presupposes that the individual and their family have taken responsibility already; and this has not worked. What happens now is the individual believes the responsibility sits with the state initially and primarily; which leads to social decay on every level. And a victim culture as people's lives don't live up to expectations, the responsibility for which they see also sitting with the "state" (or let's say the system), rather than themselves. As victims it is then seen as their right to gain compensation from "the system". Or, more pertinent to this site perhaps, a celebrity. Unhappy, unfulfilled people, schooled to believe they are both entitled and wronged, are a cancer on our society.
