The "haves" played just as large a part in making society benefits-dependant as those who are actually on them... and if the benefits system collapsed tomorrow, EVERYONE would be in deep ****, whether they're on benefits or not. The fact that so many people who are working require in-work benefits to survive means that if those collapse, the entire supporting tier of working people stops being able to function... and as loathe as they are to admit it - every single higher-earner in the country is entirely dependant on that supporting low-wage tier... and therefore, just as dependant on benefits as the people who actually have them paid into their accounts.
