Benefit was intended for those who by no fault of their own found themselves in financial hardship and needing help to maintain a liveable standard. We have forgotten that and like so many other things it has been used by numerous governments to get votes and keep people happy. If we cut benefit back to what it is truly intended for and dealt with the tax avoidance problem we would have quite a bit more money to help the country out in other ways.
What makes me laugh and again i heard it recently was a man who openly admits he claims about 11k in various benefits whilst earning over £25k (not saying thats a huge amount) complaining about "lazy benefit claimants" and how the country needs to kick them up the backside it isn't just lower social class people taking the system for a ride they are just judged happily by most to not deserve it.. |
I don't think that article was totally accurate.
