One day you may need the safety net to help you, most countries dont have it, so dont knock it because a few seem to take advantage.
Rod,
the problem is that some people see benefits as a 'career choice', rather than it being the safety net the welfare state was designed to be.
Too many individuals see getting pregnant as a way to live a cushy lifestyle. living in a rented house paid for by the state while picking up the weekly benefit cheques to spend as they see fit
How many people are there out there who are 2nd or even 3rd generation families who have lived solely off the welfare state, people who's parents lived solely on benefits and have simply copied the example set by their parents.
No personal drive, no ambition, just willing to leach off the hard working tax paying public because thats what they have learned to do.
It pisses me right off, ive no problem with the really needy, hard up, disabled or infirm getting help off the state. those are the people who really need the state's help, along with the pensioners of this country who have worked hard all their lives, paid their dues and now want a bit of peace & R n R in their old age.
Those who are swinging the lead shoud really be given a kick up the arse and made to support themselves and put the welfare state back to what it was designed to do......help those in need, when they need it for the short term.
I've just copmpleted 20 years in my current job today.
I actually work 2 jobs over a 6 day working week to support my lifestyle and home and as a single man with no kids, if i lost my job and wanted help, id get fuck all off the state despite paying my taxes/NIC all my life.
ive no sympathy or empathy with these chav cunts!
