  Careful - to label as "handouts" the proper entitlements of those who are genuinely unable to work risks not only offence but the promotion of hositlity and anger towards the very most vulnerable in our society. Absolutely, there are some who don't want to work, and there should be strategies in place for them. There are others who, through no fault of their own, have never had an opportunity to break free of the generational habit of benefits, and there are others still who are genuinely unable to work, some of whom have "invisible" challenges such as mental health challenges, which leave them vulnerable to the unfounded accusation of being "scroungers". To big up the few who really do "scrounge" - and there are some, no doubtabout it - is to insult those who don't scrounge but who do accept their entitlements. it is this attitude that leads to many elders forgoing their entitlements because they don't wan to "scrounge", despite having paid the most into the system, in many ways.
