Who are 'those people' ?
Have you got figures?
Do you know how difficult it is to get benefits if you are fit and able?
Do you know the government spend millions to take genuinely sick people off benefits?
Do you know people have died or committed suicide as a result of this government's welfare policy? Do you give a shit?
Does it bother you wealthy people and corporations are not paying the tax they should and the amount avoided is far, far more than paid to any benefit fraud?
Do you prefer wealthy people to have more because of this rather than vulnerable people getting what they need?
Stop believing the demonising of the poor ffs!
My children and 20 and 16. They know lots of "These people". The 20 year old was in school with lots of people - lots of now who are "single parents" living in social housing with their rent being paid by the government and having very decent benefit allowances. Most of them have at least 2 children- most by different feckless fathers - who have fucked off and let the taxpayer raise his kids.
I'm happy to say both my children are appalled by what they see and the morals of "These people" who they used to call friends.
My 16 year old has just left school. Within her year 3 girls have ended up being 'single' parents this year. All have been housed with baby being brought up on benefits. Two of the fathers are still around but they don't live together... Oh no!
If the government weren't so free to hand out benefits maybe the parents of these youths would instill some morals and values. I'm sure they would if they had to take financial responsibility for their children's 'mistakes'.
I live on the outskirts of a large council site. The majority of the council tenants are able bodied but unemployed. Lots are 'single' parents but their children's father doesn't live with them but is round their house every night - all night. Strangely these are the men who work. Don't pretend couples don't live apart for the purpose of benefits.
There is a woman living across the road from me. She's perfectly fit enough to attend the gym every day. She has 8!! Children. All with different fathers. She's on a nice little earner from the taxpayer. Don't pretend people who don't work, can't work through disability.
Look at the number of threads on here where someone asks should they dob in a benefit cheat. They get called all sorts of names on here. Let's be honest there are a number of benefit cheats on this site alone. Anyone not claiming benefits fraudulently would not stand by and allow 'these people' to get away with it. Simply because they are defrauding the government at the taxpayers expense.
The taxpayer has had enough. We all have eyes. We all see what goes on around us. Except those who are happy to turn a blind eye because they are happy to sit back and leech off others! And refuse to see that benefit fraud is becoming a big problem. You don't call it benefit fraud because as it is always stated here 'If a couple don't live together they are not together. Most of the benefit claimants I know have a partner and share children. They don't live together on paper only - for the sole reason of defrauding the government so they are able to claim more money.
That is pure greed and selfishness!
Don't pretend people who are claiming benefits are on the poverty line. They get benefits in line with an average working wage. Without having to put the hours in.
