How can anyone "live" on welfare? I don't think those that do have to comfy a life. Cap is 5 years lifetime for cash and it's only a few hundred dollars a month. Not all people or even most sell the link card. There is good and bad in everything and good and bad people. SOME people abuse welfare, SOME people steal from work and so on and so on. I can't help but laugh when people say that welfare recipients live on public aid. There is no real way to do that long term anymore.
