There's a whole world out there of hidden benefits to not working.

At some point it will just be too appealing, and more and more people will make the switch to dependance. 

Comcast offers a $10/mo internet plan, but only for those who qualify.

You can get a free cell phone, but only if you qualify.

Free housing, sure, but you can't work.

Then if you have some qualifying "disability" look out, because you can get even more cash and benefits. Heck, you can get front row parking everywhere you go if you gain enough weight with your own handicap placard.
