Socialism vs Capitalism, an unedifying choice
Socialism doesn't work but why and has pure capitalism proved to work either. I put it to you the answer is pure socialism AND pure capitalism have both failed totally when implemented. Socialism doesnt work mainly because it penalizes you if you work harder and better than the next man. Equality in the Law is the priority of the Liberal and Conservative and Moderate Socialists have always concentrated on equality of opportunity which is a desirable aspiration and not equality of bank balances which in effect means hatred of those with aspirations. We have a current hybrid Social Capitalism system because pure capitalism only works for the lucky and long may we send the purists on both sides packing.

Actually giving away money for doing nothing is always bad unless you have a reason, there is a whole theory of economics devoted to it, mainly the theory suggests you devalue the money given to people who worked hard for it. The devaluing causes inflation. Unemployment benefits are thus mainly given to people who cant work which doesnt have the same devaluing effect for the reason that you are not altering the value of work as much and it only is given on a subseries of people not the majority or all.
