While giving taxpayers' cash to people who can afford to save to boost their interest rates is fine, welfare in general to help out the poorest in society is bad, and allowances to help the disabled 'need reviewing'.
Not only giving taxpayers' cash to people who can afford to save, of course, but also restricting it to a single age group while attempting to pass it off as encouraging prudence and saving, as presumably a particular demographic need more encouragement.
It's an interesting point of view for sure.
Some might say a rather extreme and intensely unfair one.
