Crazy benefits culture,....

Not sure what its like in your country but over here its madness, I like most people in my country are sick and tired working hard paying lots of tax to support these lazy scroungers, most goes on OAP's which is right, some do genuinely need it but then you get those that have loads of kids by loads of different loser dads who dont pay towards their childrens up keep and these people just have lots of kids to milk the benefits system for more money as well as getting all their rent paid by benefits and an 80% reduction on paying council tax plus child support and child maintenence, shocking,.....

Whats it like in your country and does it annoy you also that you work hard to support these scroungers?scold

It sure does Len,............laugh
There are some people in the USA who expect a Free Ride.They have kids they don't really want just so they can get help from the Government.


Irresponsible Immature adults having kids and expecting the tax payers to foot he bill.
Governments are desperate to increase their populations. They'd rather offer child credits to couples to have more kids but when it comes right down to it, a woman having 5 kids by even she doesn't know by how many men is still a woman having 5 kids. They will let the system be milked in the hope more women will think it looks an easier option than working, and the state will raise those kids and sometime in the future they will have streetsweepers and cannon-fodder for wars and maybe the occasional success story who will make lots of money and pay lots of taxes to support lots more kids.
there is something to say to give a very high child benefit to rich or educated people.
It is this population that is lagging behind in making babies
Not really Len, they work hard, pay into the system so are entitled to it more than the lazy scroungers!
We have basically the same system over here.
I am in two minds about things.
Obviously I don't believe in scroungers, but I do believe the system is all wrong.
Some people are born into this type of lifestyle and know no different. They are not encouraged to continue into further education, or even finish 2nd level.
They then have no qualifications and will never find a job, and so the circle continues.
That whole vicious cycle gas to be broken.
i don't think you read my sentence.

on the other hand. if i look at all my pets.
being lazy is a biological feature.
.Ok.
Lol,............laugh wine
Scotty, wave We have those scroungers over here to,doh They know how to play the system, and in alot of cases ,their kids learn how to do the same. I know of some cases where some kids of these scroungers ,think going on welfare, or assistance is a career option,very mad
I figure welfare (in our country) is there for a purpose, but there are some able bodied people figured they re entitled to it. Me , with a disability am unable to work and am retired, what I won t do to be able to go back to work. You won t believe how many people ask me how they could get off of work.
Well ,at least I know that situation isn t just only in my country.
wave Hiya Scotty...I can only tell you what Ive observed over my working years.
I've basically spent alot of my time in physical jobs outdoors and I watched grown able bodied men mostly move from province to province here in Canada, using the system. They would get a job under the table, then go to welfare, get a check, get their paychecks, move onto another province and do it all over again.
Now they cant do that,as back then the computer systems weren't connected, as they are now, so I have no clue how they go about it now. I found it pretty disturbing myself. However, I do agree some people need it.
Just my 2 cents...wink wave
Hi Lilith,....wave Same here, they claim benefit but work for cash in hand so no trace of what their doing!

scoty I give over being mad these days. when working (all those years ago) we were encouraged to get second private pensiondoh WRONG even moved superannuation into private, caught in the misselling gate.
Now I have just a leetle over qualifying for anything but by the time I pay for all I am worse off than those that get credits etc.doh
anyway my needs a small to make me happy cheers so I have give over being mad about it all.
I do know some people do need help but the scroungers know more than the people filling in the forms. doh what a worldyay
