The idea that most people on welfare are able-bodied adults who are just too lazy to get a job and make an honest living is utterly false.
So then you honestly believe that upwards of 25% of the population is so infirm that they can't reasonably take care of themselves? That belies all credibility, sir.
Is this just another fake conservative news meme or do you have real data to back that up?

Just a moment...
So the fault\cause of the problem is not the socio-economic system per se but the immigration crisis ... last I heard this was affecting all European countries indiscriminate of their governmental socio-economic system.
Curiously I don't consider Germany to be overly socialistic.
The migrant crisis is massively contributing to it due to a shortage in homes, a lack of assimilation, deep resentment on both sides, etc... But bringing Germany up is actually a great reference in the sense that she and France have been propping up the rest of the EU for close to a decade now. Places like Greece, which is as socialist as it gets, is a failed state at this point because it tries to eat its own flesh in the sense that it parasites off of the working class to fund the failed and corrupt government through the barrel of a gun.
AH yes the old fallacy of Social Darwinism ... when the fact is that we evolved to be social animals that take care of those in our tribe, young, elderly, disabled, and that the default "economy" of tribes is to share.
Yeah, exactly, OUR tribe... The problem is that you attribute "our tribe" to be the entire human race, which history and anthropology would strenuously disagree with. I agree that in truly small, communal communities that a form of socialism and communism can and does work. The problem is the people that think you can just magically extrapolate it on a grand scale and achieve the same results. History demonstrates ad naseum that it cannot.
