What exactly is your problem with benefits?

The government actually persuade people to stay on benefits

Yeah I'm sorry about that, really, I am. I don't know why I was in such a terrible mood that time. I actually agree with a lot of the stuff you post tbf.

My point is right here:
do you know what their life is like if they do? Psh go visit someone who lives solely off benefits lol with like one kid as well. It's a crack in the floor away from living like a tramp on the streets. Some people are envious of those who seem to live pretty good off them with loads of kids. That's an unfair and untrue depiction.

Well some people are trapped into claiming because then their monies will stop if they get a job or residence lol I myself have been on JSA only and that was once during a gap year :\ but temporary/emergency claimants are still stigmatised.

Having children whilst on benefits is irresponsible. If you can't financially support a child then it's foolish to bring one into the world, the only exception would be rape but even then there are options like an abortion. It's not fair on the child, either, if you can't provide for it.

Well there's clearly two versions of the benefit story: one is of the family with 6 kids who have a flat screen TV, iPhones etc. which I recognise is unrepresentative of the average benefits claimant, but the fact that this can even occur at all is disgusting and the loopholes should be closed. The second, as you mentioned, is the person who is struggling to make ends meet. This is how benefits should be, they're not supposed to allow you to live a luxurious life where they have a load of disposable income to spend on what they wish, they're supposed to provide just enough money for food/bills/rent until you can find a job so that you no longer need to claim them. They aren't supposed to be a permanent solution, and if you intend to be on them long-term then it's perfectly justified that you can't afford luxury goods. And if you're in them short-term, as they are intended, then it shouldn't have a major impact on your circumstances.

Claiming JSA whilst on a gap year is exactly what I'm talking about regarding unwarranted claiming. Benefits are not needed for a gap year (assuming you aren't living by yourself ofc).

Here's some of my viewpoints:

.Wanted Brexit

.Increase in tax on Businesses and Wealthy Families

.Increase in public spending and nationalisation of services

.Skeptical on immigration- I believe it's fine when the numbers aren't too high

.The Workers of the country should be paid more and have a voice

.Anti-Monarch- Cannot stand the Queen

. Atheist- Religion causes too much trouble

. Benefits are valuable but we should regulate it to make sure it's going to the correct people (if you can work, work basically)

.Support Gay marriage

.I believe that certain drugs should be legalised but placed under heavy regulations for businesses

.An Australian Points based system could work, with lenient stances on migration for Refugees and Asylum Seekers

So... I know it's a long list, but those are some of my viewpoints. Where would you place me politically? What party do I link with? I would vote Labour but what would you think?

Yeah why work a job where you earn the same in a day as you would get in a week of benefits. Low income homes also get housing benefit so there is a cross over of some description. Also they used to allow a HB and council tax run on when you went into work so that you wouldn't start work with rent debt accruing. And back to work grants. And working tax credit that can be equal to your JSA/ESA on top of your earned income. Yeah totally would prefer to stay on benefits.
