Australia carries a bit to the extreme......

We lived in a posh Sydney suburb and worked our butt off with 15-18 hour days. Between the two of us, we supported 6 - 8 Australian families on welfare...and guess where those family lived ? One of them was our neighbour !!!!! Guy was 27 and was proud to have never ever worked in his life. He had a permanent tan from being a beach bum....he had 5 children and made over 4K tax free every year.

Nice guy. But I just couldn't take it anymore after 5 years....I felt I was handing him 4K from my salary every month.....I knew it was a stupid system which penalised the hard working....
