The integrity of any system can never be stronger than the weakest link.. If the recruitment agencies are not at least spot-checked and validated regularily by a (dutiful) government body, then the system isn't reliable and definitely up for revision or renewal. Being somewhat oldschool myself, i can sympathize with the "don't work, don't eat" to some extent. A absolute legend of Danish politics, Mogens Glistrup, once publicly announced in his campaign to become Danish PM, that he wanted to scrap the social security system and put up oatmeal-automatrons instead.. His party won by a landslide, but the establishment held onto power, forming a minority-government out of sheer fear of this guy.. which probably was somewhat warranted: Among the partys agendas, was the more or less total dismantlement of the existing system and asked what his title would be in government, he replied: " i'll be Minister for the dismantling of the public sector".. Uh, sidetracked.. My understanding of basic human rights in a western society is the following: Food in the stomach, roof over your head, clothes on your body and no gibs me dats.. you work for any extras. Context of the above: i'm a citizen in Denmark; a country provinding ample "gibs" to any and every citizen: social security for everyone, free healthcare and free education.. err, edit that last one; society provides 11 ys. of (obligatory) free school and will pay you to educate yourself further. Ie: you can obtain a university-degree/doctorate for free and will be paid throughout the entiety of this effort.. Don't ask me why i'm not all for third world freeloaders; it should be obvious..
