Do you have any evidence of such?
You can interview my neighbor...
Hold it right there. You really think you can get away with passing off anecdote as evidence here?
But more importantly, I recall specifically telling you, in my original response:
Now, let's not play dumb and say that if we can one example, then that means your original statement is true.
It would seem that you have decided to ignore that request. As I stated immediately afterward:
I will handily admit that there is at least one person who games the system and at least one couple who has decided to avoid getting married due to the issue of losing benefits. But let's not pretend that this is a widespread problem.
If you aren't going to read my posts, then we are going to have a problem with having an intellectually honest discussion.

Tough when i was looking for 2 workers 30 applied 25 of them only wanted me to sign the paper that they where here for the interview, one of them did not even want to come out of his car he pointed the paper out of the window.
You seem to be overlooking something: You had more people looking for work than there were jobs available. That's the problem.
You're anecdotes are fine and dandy, but they do not reflect reality.

Now you have some examples
No, I don't. I have some just-so stories from you. Your personal experience is not an accurate gauge of real life. We don't accept it in any other area of rational inquiry, what on earth makes you think it would be blindly accepted here? The people who have actively studied the issue of social safety nets all disagree with your opinion.
Where is your study that shows them to be wrong? "I know a guy" is not a study.

as i said i am all for socialism tough it does need more control.
All things need control. There are no perfect systems, especially when people are involved. But your stated reactions have been based upon nothing more than personal bias.

Thank you for your submission to
Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.
