Not saying welfare payments increase drastically to claiments but merely pointing out we all contribute whether we work, ill, elderly or unemployed. They pay taxes not direct but inderect.
I agree Corporitsm is biggest obstacle set new thread about book coming out about RACE AGAINST the MACHINE comes out monday done by 2 MIT researchers. It worryingly what they say.
Not saying it was right to create the quango culture be it came about as many taxpayers moaned or merely papers championed a cause. That peple should work do something useful rather be on dole. Government struggling to get private sector come up with jobs so the quango culture came about. Government embarked on inflating public sector workforce job creation to get people work rather then let them sit around. Afterall people wanted it.
Now poeple moan it cant support it I agree the balance maybe wrong
However there many calling people who not working too now we have situation they dont want them on dole either what is government supposed to do if private sector wont employ in the quantities required.

They probably want to do what america has done.
Time limited benefits then homeless or family cover living costs. Basically cut the weak off. We slowly heading there as currently on average we having a welfare reform every 4 years. Capitalism has simply moved on from benefiting this country. Shareholders want max profit, thats all they care about. Now manufacturing and employing workers is cheaper in asia than the uk. So ultimately job creation here will be limited. If someone ever invents teleportation mcdonalds will employ in asia and then teleport the food over, we would really be screwed then.
