Some people abuse the system, for sure not all of them.
If the flea market puts some cash in the pocket and can pay for a few expenses, then I'm fine with that - it's an example of a person needing help and doing something about it.
However if that person is milking the system, maybe earns enough or spouse has it covered, then you should report them so it stops and they have to pay the money back.
That's when we should be pushing for stiffer regulations and checks in place, because we know it can be abused. Much like I agree with the drug testing of those that get benefits.
