I'm struggling to see where the government is preventing people from having a decent life by not giving them money. You made your decisions in life, this government prevents you from doing nothing by not 'looking after you'. It's not an entitlement.
Yes you have rights, no-one is disputing that, yes
you have to support your family. You, not me or any other tax payer. That's exactly the point, I go to work to support my family not yours or anyone else's.
The money comes from somewhere, it doesn't fall off trees. Try seeing it from the point of view of people who work until May each calendar year just to pay their bleeping income tax bill.

They didn't do badly there Hugh, my last 2 pay rises were both below inflation which is fairly average I think for the private sector.
