The welfare of citizens is very much the governments business as time and time again people are taken advantage of by theunscrupulous for instance a company a friend works for used to think nothing of paying £2 an hour before the minimum wage was introduced.
Besides what I suggested was meant as a saftey net for small companies, the idea is to get people free of benefits not force them back onto the dole because the firm goes bust, anyway it's not something government seems to interested in at the moment so we have to rely of firms doing the decent thing and happily there are hundreds that have signed up to the pledge.
