because it's a welfare system ,it's supposed to help people in need .There are plenty of people on that system 100% dependant 100% of the time through no fault of their own .I daresay there are also people who sell their tv's ,cars and homes when they lose their job but remain 100% dependant on the welfare system ,a system i might add that you are also 100% dependant on ...ever heard of the NHS

The problem we have nowadays is that the system originally designed when people had jobs for life and only used as a safety net has become a system out of control and relyed upon by some people as a way of life

I don't agree with the war in Afganistan so why should you be 100%dependant on my taxes when you join up ?
