I don’t hate the system, I dislike the part of the system that accepts donations in return for favorable modifications, and I really dislike the corruption.

I suspect that if it was ever attempted it to put names or actual numbers against those claims, it would be very difficult to show a large number of those who are sucking off the system. Are there cheaters and crooks! Of course there are but most likely not in the large numbers that are being implied.

Where did you get the idea that there were non-earners sucking off the system, was it from personal experience or did you hear it from someone who would rather you look at them rather than look at him? “Hey, look over there! Isn’t that terrible? *That* is what needs to be fixed, not this.”
One needs to take the blinders off and get into the real world. There are large numbers of people living off the system, work in the ER near or in a large city. Then examine disability claims and follow up on the people "who can't work another day" in their life. Is disability a reality, oh yeah, but not close to the people who are sponging off that system.

For example, we watch constantly on clothing drives, turkey handouts at Thanksgiving, Christmas fundraisers, food banks, school supplies, (all which are important to the community), but the number of people in fine cars, great clothes, beautiful fingernails, tatoos, exceptional hairdos who have learned to suck off the public and spend their money frivolously is ridiculous. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. People don't want to work anymore. Thankfully, we still have a military and tradespeople to prop up our society.
