Edit: Those taxes they are paying are being used for things they are a part of. You sound like my parents who complain they have to pay taxes that go towards the public school even though they dont use it, completely ignoring the fact they benefitted from the same tax when they were in school.
As for your second question, i thought i made it clear where i draw the line. If youre in a position to better your situation and do not do it that is where the line gets drawn (assuming of course the opportunity is legal, moral, constitutional, etc.). Nothing gets "done" to those people. I dont have all the answers and the Frown quote above highlights one of the major difficulties we have to overcome. As for dying? Thats a bit hyperbolic dont you think? (1) i am all for universal healthcare (2) if dying isnt motivation to improve your situation then what is? If you care that little about your life then bailing you out probably wont change that.

My point is that at one point in time they were contributing to society enough so that they are able to qualify for said benefits.
I am not like your parents at all. I know those type of people that want to dedicate where tax money is spent and whom it goes to which sounds exactly like what you are saying. You are trying to say who does and doesn't deserve your tax dollars.
I feel like you are under the assumption that people can just forever live off Welfare without doing anything. Case workers are quick to cut people off for the slightest things. Not actively looking for work or attending the work sites that they get sent to. Not filling out certain paperwork in time. Social workers feel like they are the gate keepers to people's lives and the minute they don't feel like the person deserves it or they are committing fraud they get cut off. They have your same mentality. There isn't anything wrong with that because those benefits are meant to be temporary.
