This resonates with the KLF's "The Manual: How To Have A Number 1 The Easy Way" [1]: "Firstly, you must be skint and on the dole. Anybody with a proper job or tied up with full time education will not have the time to devote to see it through... Being on the dole gives you a clearer perspective on how much of society is run... having no money sharpens the wits. Forces you never to make the wrong decision. There is no safety net to catch you when you fall."

Personally though, I wouldn't and couldn't take a stance.
