utter bollocks!!!my parents managed to raise me and my younger brother and sister without a single penny from any government plan!and they CERTAINLY had nowhere near 50k a year!its called budgeting!if youre going to have 3 kids etc then go out and buy the latest flat screen tv and horrifically expensive to run cossies or evos etc then maybe you should have another look at your priorities!i wont even entrertain having kids until i can afford them on my own,why should everyone else pay to keep you and your family in luxury?i remember asking my parents what the fuck my mates were on about with the child support money as most of them got a cut of it as pocket money (ie theyd get a tenner a week,whereas i got mine increased from ONE pound to THREE pounds a week when i was about 14-15!!and this was 1994-95 NOT the 70s!)
you should be responsible for your own family etc IMO!there are far better things for tax to go on than a new ipod for little chardonnay!
