The Government is currently passing a new bill on welfare through Parliament at the moment, part of this is to limit all welfare payments to a maximum of £26,000pa.
Ian Duncan-Smith admins there are a number of benefit claimants with large families, especially in London, who get more than £100,000pa. He say the new measures will be liberating for them as they can now get an average wage job, without a big decrease in benefits, which is trapping them from doing this.
This I think is a reasonable comment and it shows how far our benefits system is devoid from the realities of the average hard working family.
But then you get that left wing Limpdem tw*t Simon Hughes, who's comment "We cannot allow families to be unjustifiably and retrospectively penalised and left with not enough money to stay in their homes and be literally forced onto the street".
So it's alright then that families that have been pushed over the financial edge, due to NIC, VAT and council tax rises and had their houses repossessed and are out on the street, as long as they should continue to be good tax payers and fund the £100,000+ benefit claimants.
With tw*ts like him and all the other do gooders in Parliament, you can see why welfare is where it is, and is by far the Governments biggest bill. That's why for the average earning taxpayer in this country are typically paying 45-50% of what their economic activity earns in taxes and suffering as a consequence.
