Well, don't forget the grasshopper/ant analogy here. For the most part, I agree with you, but sometimes people have to take responsibility for themselves. And there are quite a few people roaming the streets that are there because they can't be bothered to keep proper employment.
Example: My mom has a cleaning company. The labour shortage has "forced" her to hire out of the drop in center. Alot of the poeple she's hired will show up day in and day out. Quite a few others are simply dont show up the day after a large payday (they get paid daily). It is pretty easy to figure out who the people are that get their cash and go blow it on booze or drugs. Crap, I'd elaborate but I'm sure you get my point.
