I am always a little curious about who, exactly, would not be "leeching" off community services. Like, where is the line drawn between 'deserving' and 'undeserving'? If you're paying tax, you have a right to use those services, surely? Forgive me if this works a little differently where you are.
And I bet your grandmother would have used community services in a heartbeat if they'd existed and been available for her. Half the time the "things our antecedents did without and made good on" were because they didn't have those options and their society didn't give them any leeway. Making a grand and glorious struggle out of it is, frankly, bullshit.
