Certain things ARE given out for free, at least here. I have a free transport pass, we used to get free bin collections (till they opened the refuse collection to tender and away from the council) and we get a free TV licence. No means test.
I will add that EVERYONE, no matter their income, is entitled to Child Support here, and that annoys me. Families who are stinking rich and do not need it still get to collect it, and I think that's wrong. Oh, and everyone gets a state pension when they reach retirement age.
