I don't know if it's a loop
I'm not getting things for free, I'm paying my (rather elaborate) taxes. So does everyone else with an income, plus everyone pays the taxes on goods we buy (VAT). "Welfare" means
very roughly that you pay according to your ability and get according to your need.
Very roughly, mind. If you are able to work you will be in work, sooner or later. The welfare system I live in are a great safety-net - it's not quite so great to live from, and you're a loser if you do when there are work to have.
