Yeah
I've always thought something similar to that, but they get their benefits on some sort of card, and they are restricted to what they can buy with it, so no fags or booze, and thus less of a stress on the NHS, and not luxuries, so there is an incentive to work. It means people who need it get fed and clothed, but no one would want to live on it for long.

It might effect the economy a little, but giving tax money to scroungers to give to businesses probably isn't a an efficient use of taxes anyway.
