How is it a rant? He has first-hand, eye-witness experience.
There are enough anecdotes (I could supply a few) to suspect there is a welfare abuse problem - we just don't know the extent of it, as numbers are hard to come by (for reasons explained by the poster you criticize).
Stating the fact that _some_ people take advantage of the system does not make one a heartless bastard.
Someone who is creative and fastidious about saving, reusing and recycling would, to your eyes, look like a welfare fraud because they might superficially seem better off then you think they should.
