I completely agree that pains should be taken to educate people in a way that prepares them for employment, but the reality is that we'd have to be educating a lot of people by force. For as long as the system allows it, there will be a segment of people that would rather live off of society than in it.

Yes, though there is a much greater part of the population that would reach for more if they could. Especially if their situation was made easier in such a way as to incentive it. (ex: 2 dollars in = 1 dollar loss on the payout still means 50% increased profit until they're "weened" off the payout, in which case they double up to 100% increase in profit. Unlike what it is now, where when you hit the point that you are no longer eligible for welfare, it [i]hits[/i] and it [i]hurts[/i].)
