There are people doing shitty things from all walks of life. Truly, I'm more disgusted by corporations who refuse to play fairly while taking in billions in profits, but that isn't what we're talking about. I'm not a terrible person, or a stupid one for having an opinion about this.

You said yourself: it's not the fact that people are coasting through life that offends you, it's the fact that you have to pay for it - to the point that you and your family have to go without. This isn't about who's the bigger problem, it's the same problem: People taking money they're not entitled to from the taxpayer. You can draw dividing lines all day, but any functional solution to the problem will focus on the largest contributing factors.
I have an opinion on this thread too: The opinion that pursuing benefit scroungers to the point of drawing government pressure away from bigger drains on society is detrimental to 99% of the population.
I don't deny that this is an argument worth having, the conclusions I draw just make it a very short argument on my part (hence why I've kept out of it).
