You haven't met enough deadbeats in your life. Trust me, there's a virtually limitless number of them, and they very much do not want to work.

You need to provide hard numbers because welfare fraud is typically less than single digits. Going by “vibes” is pretty useless, especially since the government has been the largest force in reducing poverty in western nations.

The problem with this is that there's little way to get any realistic data here. Of course the number of people polled that say they're a deadbeat will be low.

And so what? I'm ok subsidising 100 deadbeats scraping by if I can score a couple performers with stellar ROI.

This is YCombinator's blog after all, isn't it?
