It rewards welfare over work, it undermines family values, it lets millions of parents get away without paying their child support, it keeps a minority but a significant minority of the people on welfare trapped on it for a very long time. I worked on this problem for a long time nearly 15 years now.
"And you will have to go too, won't you?" Dickon grinned. "My dinner's easy to carry about with me," he said. "Mother always lets me put a bit o' somethin' in my pocket." He picked up his coat from the grass and brought out of a pocket a lumpy little bundle tied up in a quiet clean, coarse, blue and white handkerchief. It held two thick pieces of bread with a slice of something laid between them.
But I added: "What is the world coming to when the Prince of the Republic prizes his privileges so little that he neglects state business for horse-jockeying, when he is so crazy over charioteering that he lets another man wear his robes and occupy his throne? It is a mad world." Next morning we were early on Orontides' ship and once more Agathemer charmed a crew with his flageolet.
He stopped dead, turned a ghastly white, and looked round at Duckling. "Give him one for himself if he says too much, Mr. Royle!" sung out some hoarse voice on the main-deck; "we'll back yer!" And then came cries of "They're a cursed pair o' murderers!" "Who run the smack down?" "Who lets men drown?" "Who starves honest men?" This last exclamation was followed by a roar.
It's huge, and the Manager never lets me go down there!" Alona smiled and said: "I knew you'd figure it out!"

And say, for a late bloomin' it was a wonder. Honest, when I gets my first glimpse of her standin' under the hall light with Hilda holdin' her opera wrap, I lets out a gurgle. Had I wandered into the wrong apartment? Was I disturbin' some leadin' lady just goin' on for the first act? No, there was Cousin Myra's thin nose and pointed chin.
No form of idealism, no sort of genuinely great belief can hold its ground any longer."

It lets them rot. But I think there is one comfort.
What the world lets you see you will see, and the world will take care that it will let you see very little not enough to do you any good, not enough to deliver you from its chains. Wrench yourselves away, my brethren, from the absorbing contemplation of Birmingham jewellery and paste, and look at the true riches.
Bally pirates! The thing, you see, is that Jeeves is so dashed competent. You can spot it even in the way he shoves studs into a shirt.
