This is how the system should function, but then you get public outcry when the worst of us are found abusing the system of subsidies while perpetrating their crimes. I think specifically of Marc Dutroux here.

On a side note, after the mass influx of Ukrainian refugees and wide public support, it is much more obvious that those in the greatest need tend to demand less, not more.
