It sucks because it's self perpetuating. I'm guilty of it myself. My grandma is half Cherokee. You bet your ass I applied for the vehicle tags and registrations, and for the "free" money they handed out during COVID.
Why wouldn't I? I only paid $200 to tag and register my 20k truck when I bought it. And they gave out $3000 for "hardship" applicants during COVID lockdowns. Didn't even ask any questions to prove you lost hours or your job. Just "free" money.
I don't take advantage of everything "free" they offer, like healthcare and housing, but it's the easiest thing in the world and it's just waiting for you to take it. You have to have strong will and pride to not take freely given bennies.
