"Sole parents on a benefit who have additional children will be required to work part-time when their baby is one."



The government are good cunts. PUNISH THE BREEDING BENEFICIARIES!

[GingerMidget]

Sooo, how bout it

oh,
and

[mashman]

355,000 adults (on benifit) plus their 225,000 children (600,000 of them)

That's a shit load of a burden on our taxes.

I can't afford this burden that I had no part in creating.

I welcome reductions in this burden.

Some sort of benefit. Working for families perhaps. Wonder how many of them are claiming WFF when they can well afford not to. I know of 2 personally and I could structure my affairs to make that 355,001, but I'm in the minority that gives a shit.

[TrentNz]

oh,
and

.... i know where you work.

[GingerMidget]

Did i mention I'm a personal trainer

Good for you sunshine.

See my caring face?

Wait. Me neither.

Back to topic now.

If you've been on a benefit more than 12 months, get off it, get off your lazy ass, and get a job.

[slofox]

This is why I don't want kids. I don't care enough. I'm sorry.

One day you will remember saying this.

Many (real) tax payers can't afford their own homes, yet their taxes are used to help pay the mortgages of some beneficiaries. Those houses are typically appreciating in value to provide the beneficiaries a nice little nest egg that some of the (real) tax payers will never see.

How the fuck is that seen as appropriate distribution of taxes?

Seconded, but make if 12 weeks

[GingerMidget]

I like the way you think.

[TrentNz]

I don't support the benefit anymore then you all do, but the fact is shit happens and sometimes you need it for a while to get back on your feet.

And their taxes are used to pay for some politicians mortgages too. They can obviously afford it with their huge, in comparison to the beneficiary, salaries and perks. Some taxes are used to bail out companies that fail, as well as paying back billions of $ plus interest to the gamblers and all because the government guaranteed them.

I don't see that as an appropriate distribution of taxes? Neither do I see legalised tax dodging as an appropriate distribution of taxes. People hit hard times, some decide to scam the system, some get back up, some struggle to make ends meet without assistance, so why make everyone else pay for the actions of a minority? especially where full employment is undesirable? Why do you feel like you're being ripped off? It's a minority, a tiny tiny minority of career bludgers. The rest are part of the "rotating work pool" and get pissed on because they don't get paid enough and have to claim for assistance. Hey ho.
