Perhaps it's finally the working persons chance to scrounge off the state for a change  |
It may be a very good idea for those who'll use the money wisely and are able to provide a decent standard of living for themselves but for those who don't or fall prey to the same suits who've ripped many of us off before it could be a disaster. It may be nice to make a point by divesting yourself of all your assets and deciding to "live off the state" but I think the resulting sense of satisfaction might be very short lived as life surviving on the basics the elderly are entitled to dawns...
