2. In what ways do welfare clients cheat the system?
key
To my knowledge, welfare clients cheat the system in the ways as follows: They don’t declare the gifts from friends and relatives; they understate the pension from the government; they exaggerate the rent; and they even report to welfare that living costs increase sharply and their purchasing power decreases greatly.

3. In what ways do the caseworkers abuse the system?
key
Seized with the illusion that they are made fools of whenever help is asked for, caseworkers don’t help their clients out of conscience. Instead, they expect their clients to bow down to them, and give out lectures before welfare clients. Caseworkers may regard their job of providing service as a power of distributing wealth.

1. Why do welfare clients often cheat the system?
key
In my judgment, welfare clients cheat the system because they can’t get enough money to sustain an average living or because they are not satisfied with the welfare they enjoy. On the other hand, I suppose there must be some who are so selfish and greedy as to cheat the system for more money.
