*Ilovecheese*, unless all those in need and poverty are quite exceptionally virtuous, there will be some households, not many, who will redirect any money coming into the house to supporting their addicition; whether that be drugs, alcohol, gambling or being forced to give it to others.
I am and always been a very light drinker, I have never taken drugs nor do I gamble or force other family members to give me all their money, yet I can still see this.
However, we don't normally set our laws and rules for the very small minority although to read some posts - not especially on here - you would thing this is being done because a majority behave this way.
You are right to point out that is does happen but sadly there will always be some who do not read the words "there will be some households, not many," and will go on vilifying all those our state does not properly provide for.
