Well, let's just say I didn't spend a lot of time polishing that analogy!

However, one way to see the situation is more of a buy-off. Arguably, the government plunders in order to "pay off" welfare society, because if they didn't the masses would rise up and kill off the system that does not really do much to equip them for the opportunities that immigrant kids come in and sweep up. (The term "Brain drain" comes to mind.)
