Nope, quite the opposite in fact. I'm demonstrating that our system works in such a way that not everyone gets an equal pay-out from the State. I think those who get more do have more of a responsibility in return, but I don't think that extends to everybody paying for what they use. If that were the case then seriously ill people who cost the NHS tens of thousands would have to pay more NI than someone who has a healthy life, which is a bit daft.
I support the idea of a welfare State in which everybody helps everybody else out. But I don't believe in a limitless welfare state.
