Just wondering chaps, I'm discussing the differences country to country and we're wondering how your welfare system is structured. We're considering getting green cards and mooching off your fine republican tax dollars.
For example, in Australia as long as you meet activity requirements (looking for jobs or studying) you can get it easily. The only homeless people are essentially spending their living money on drugs/alcohol. They're still getting same money as everybody else.. just not so wise in their expenditure.
Its not a terribly interesting topic but this country (Australia) is booming and there is very little class difference, whereas in my home country of the UK there is a large class difference between the rich and poor.
I think potential welfare recipients should consider coming to AU as I suspect it has one of the highest mean quality of life rates in the world (if such a thing could be quantified).
