I pay taxes and use whatever state assistance I am elligable for.
I have taken unemployment benefit. I have taken discounts on local taxes for single occupancy. I receive child benefit and working families tax credit. My daughter is in a state school, she was born in a state hospital, and my family all use state doctors.
If I lost my job, or became ill, I would be at the front of the queue and I would take every penny I could. Why? Because when I work I pay for the other people in the line, when I can'twork they can pay for me; it's how my vision of a just society works.
You pay your share when you can, and take back your due when you can't.

Overhead, the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air,
And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
