If you are trying to say is it OK for the poor and those on struggling on benefits to steal to make ends meet, then no, never.
The problem with those on benefits (in this country), is that they expect to live the same (or often a higher) standard of life than those who work full time. After all How many of those people are there struggling on benefits who smoke; drink; do drugs; go on holidays; have satellite TV subscriptions; eat takeaways; have the lastest mobile phones; Nike trainers and designer goods etc etc.
Benefits in this country have become a lifestyle or life choice for too many people who are happy to live off the hard work of others, and it needs to change. I know there are exceptions, but they are exceptions rather than the norm.
Benefits should only ever be enough to survive on with basic rations; no luxury foods or other items. If you are on benefits, you should literally be making every penny count, there shouldn't be any spare for TV subscriptions; cigarettes or takeaways etc. If you want those things, you have to earn them.
If it was more like that, you can also be sure that immigration wouldn't be such an issue.
I like the idea of you can only take out what you have paid in, but even I can see that that is not fair......
