The Welfare System- What's Your Take?

Continuing on our class discussion from Thursday, I was curious to get everyone's opinion on the welfare system.  There are people out in America that truly need the aid the system provides.  However, as you know, not everybody uses the system the way it should be.  This system takes money out of our everyday pay checks and gives them to the less fortunate.  Some may look at it as a great thing, and others may say- well why is my money going to a person that just sits around and does nothing all day. With that in mind I was curious to know how you all feel about our current system, and what you would do to prevent further exploitation, or why you think our system is actually good enough to keep in place.
