Ok if they can afford it, but if that means they have to get hand-outs from the State (other people who working that is) then they know what to do, share with others until they can pay their own way and not be a drain on the rest of us.

Maybe then OAPs might get the equivalent to the minimum wage instead of about 50% of it.
