plenty of countries have welfare systems that don't require anything to use, the incredibly small amount of "parasites" that will abuse these systems are essentially a rounding error.

most people actually don't mind working jobs, if it atleast feels like it's their own choice to work it

as a whole the US spends more time/resources trying to punish poor people than it would cost just to allow some poor people to abuse the system
