£31,786 or even £40,000 PA is not a vast amount of money and when housing/transport/family costs are taken into consideration then then giving 40% of earnings from a wage of £40,000 can leave those people worse off than quite a few disabled people because they don't get any state help at all

When wages do grow socialists like you just want to take it in the from them and give it to those who don't contribute
