Stop framing it as you might help others that take advantage of the system and frame it as helping yourself and those who might need it legitimately.
There will always be bad eggs in society. Including this representative that punishes the many for the failures of the few. You cannot have civilization without the outliers. But you can help the majority even if there are a few leeches. It says a lot about the right wing when their public face is hypocritical selfishness.
Exactly. You know what I see when I see someone who "just doesn't want to work?" I see someone likely struggling with depression or other mental health issues. And I'm not so prideful that I believe I'm immune to those mental health struggles. I'm certainly not immune from them. None of us are. And if I fall into such a dark place in the future, I don't want to risk dying or bankruptcy just because I'm struggling with my mental health. If someone thinks they can't fall into such a dark place, they're a fool.
Awkwardly stated at the start there but you pulled it back at the end
“Advantage” can be interpreted differently - as in legitimate usage vs selfish gain.
Everyone else understood you, dude is just being pedantic.
