Why work when I can get £42,000 in benefits a year AND drive a Mercedes?

If a family are legally entitled to this amount of benefits, then why shouldn't they claim it?
It's no use taking it out on the families, it's the government who allow this to happen. So which of the parties are promising to change the benefits system and actually stand by it if they manage to get in?
I was told that in order to get the things in life I wanted, I'd have to work hard and save my money, etc etc... But now it's all gone topsy-turvy! It seems the harder you work the more you lose out. It doesn't seem to make sense to go out and work these days.
This family live in rented accommodation, so if anything goes wrong, such as their boiler breaks down, or the guttering get's blocked etc, then they just pick up the phone and get it all repaired or replaced for free. They could also be in line for all new double glazed windows, doors, fencing, drives, roofing, kitchen, bathroom and a brand new combi boiler, radiators in every room with a nice new real flame effect fire with fireplace/surround.
I live in a 3 bedroom council house which will be getting the above makeover between now and the next 2 to 3 years.
