Yep,but people have been led like lemmings into a sense of entitllement.They often dont care where the money comes from "not my problem" seems to be the attitude.Thats why we have a government - to give us the money.People dont seem aware,or to care,that the government doesnt have a penny of its own money.The only money they can ever have is to take it from our wages,or borrow it and then pay it back from our wages (or future generations wages).
Its been one big cruel political con.It started with taxing people more than is neeeded,and then redistribute the money in a fashion which buys peoples votes with their own money.It then moved onto legalised theft - have millions of people on benifits of some kind or another (from family allowance,to working tax credit,to DLA - even for those who really dont need it)and then buy their votes with
other peoples money.
We then end up with large numbers of people who dont work,dont see why they should work,and feel perfectly entitled to take more money from taxpayers every month than many of those taxpayers are allowed to retain to keep their own families.
It s a long uphill (and maybe impossible) task to eradicate the socialism which has imbedded itself into the fabric of this country.
We need growth in the economy (come on George,get on with it ffs) so that
British people are given the opportunity to work hard and improve their lot in life,and if they dont take the opportunity to do so - no state handouts.We have now reached the position where there is a national outcry by the left wing media when the govt. announces it wants to restrict benefits to being no more than the average wage.How we get from that ludicrous position back to the common sense situation we used to have I really dont know. I know of one member of this forum who is very obviously hard working,intelligent and has been very actively seeking work for at least three years,but cant find it.That is the kind of person we need to be helping,not spongers who are happy to sit back and laugh at the fact that they are clever enough to sit on their arse all day while other people get out of bed and earn their living for them. And today we are told that apparently only 12% of people in Scotland contribute to the economy.No wonder Liebore and the Scotnats have a stranglehold on power.They have brainwashed people into believing that they must be reliant on the state for their day to day living.
Im not having a go at the Scots btw,Im sure the picture is similar in other areas of the UK,but afaik figures arent currently available to demonstrate that.
