It drives me crazy too. My mother's way below poverty (literally and technically), runs her own business, and has three dependents. Yet despite this, they decided to cut my brother's medicare when he was seven. So now, when he's sick, my mother pays to take him to the doctor instead of paying for food or utilities. And the clincher is that I'm SURE his funding went to fund some illegal immigrant's medicare instead. I cannot even express how much rage this current system invokes in me.
Sounds like governments everywhere (at least in Australia here, and I think Canada too) - they'll give you what they think is the minimum you need, but no more. So it seems impossible to ever get ahead. Like, what's the incentive to try to better yourself & be a contributing factor to the community, when you could just sit around all day & do nothing & get welfare! :S
