Continue the abuse and government will promise the abused relief. They will buy their vote. Ya can't win when the poor/abused is the largest voting block of any country.
This is what ya get when government buys votes and their now buying the votes of the exempted. Favors in many flavors anyone?
Be so much better if people just got along.

Ugh...another great non-answer. THe problem is we're trapped within our own system. The system is based on the people espousing the values of independence, self-sufficiency, liberty and non-interference from the government. When the underclass grows to the point where they can outnumber the people who actually support the society, we are in trouble...like now. The underclass is largely socialist (whether they know it or not) and it includes many blue-collar workers who are union members, state and federal employees and government workers.
So we have a huge class of people voting for large government, handouts, and cradle-to-grave benefits who cannot or will not pay for them...and who are insisting that those who can, should. This is the democrat stock-in-trade, and is guaranteed to grow the government, swell our financial overhead, and bring this nation down.
At least, that's my take on it.
SO, being trapped within our own system and subject to the political whims of the 'majority', how do we throw these rats from our collective necks and take back control, if not from the ballot box ?
We will not 'just get along'.....
If you support it, you dont have to take it.
