Having the state social system taking total care of me would scare me to. It is a safety-net - not a means of living. It's socially unacceptable to rely on the state for your income - for by far most people - but it provides services that smoothes everyday life and makes sure you are not left destitute and unable to handle a job - as well as takes care of the long-run decisions of society in general. Thus helping our nation to advance and prosper
