Well, mostly because drinking tequila would be implying you have the money to buy the tequila. And the welfare system is not much. it's the -bare minimum- under which people can survive (and probably still loan from friends/family).
Also, people are forced to find jobs, even jobs in which they are over-qualified. You aren't trying? you dont get a welfare cheque.
When did people get the idea that living of wellfare is easy?

I tend to agree with you here. But the rich are hardly 'poorer' from the burden the government places upon them. Hell, I -wish- I would have to pay 50% taxes, because that would mean I would have enough money for 3 cars, 2 houses and a boat. And still drink champange every morning.
