There are too many people on benefits

1) Are you serious? How did you come to that conclusion, the majority of them do.
2) Back in the purse of who? The businesses whose tax they used in the first place?
3) Yes to improve their experience and employ-ability, it does not need any more workers so why should it pay them to get experience? Also its not forcing its a government initiative in order to get experience to strengthen your CV.

Solution= forced labour for people unemployed after a certain period of time.

Good, when I have the chance I'll be doing the same.

If I'm rich enough to want to open an off-shore account, I'm not particularly interested in funding schools or NHS when my children will get private education and private healthcare.

I'd prefer a "pay as you go " approach to calling police, fire brigade etc - what's the harm in paying for what you use?

I find tax like everyone going to a restaurant with friends, and everyone ordering significantly different priced meals, and then at the end "splitting the bill equally" ... and you end up paying for your friend's 5 glasses of wine. It's BS.

Please think about what you're saying ffs.

In retrospect i think your post is likely clever trolling and poes law has caught up with me again but i'll leave the opinion out there for anyone mad enough to genuinely think that tax avoidance or PAYG services/the scrapping of the NHS are good ideas.

I agreed with your other posts but this point is so retarded it actually makes me question your IQ. I understand what you are trying to get at and like i said i agree with your other posts but this is just too far.

They are spending the rich peoples money you seem to forget, the rich are the ones paying tax which is used for benefits so technically the money is not actually theirs. Also by your suggestion we should all stop saving money and just stand outside the job center and hand it out like candy.

Not really, most of it just goes into the pension pots of already rich private landlords.

More money is lost through tax evasion than spent on benefits.

Honestly it was hard for me to try and word what I had in mind. Apologies if I offended anyone, it was only after I read it that I realised it was pretty extreme. The point I'm trying to make is that if we give everyone a free ride in education,nhs etc, society will not know how lucky they actually are. This is where we are going...I have said in other posts how education is abused by kids who give teachers a hard time and those who bunk off (compared to kids in India, Africa who would give their right arm to sit in a lesson ). And I have said that people abuse the nhs by going to the GP for a cold (or other stupid reasons) or ending up in A&E every weekend because they can't handle their drink .

What I would like to see is people actually appreciating the benefits this country gives,and besides making people pay for what they use ,how else can we do this? Free "allowance" perhaps? I don't know.

It supposedly comes from Milton Friedman who is the wet dream of the current crop of world leaders. But they ignore a lot of what he said. The guy supported a negative income tax (you give money to people who do not earn enough to pay tax).

No that's housing benefit and that system is complete created by the government through high immigration levels and low levels of house building over 30 years mainly caused by planning restrictions

That exists for many people on benefits. Especially people on JSA.

That means people like me are seriously ****ed. I've got numerous long term illnesses, one of which will end up leaving me blind and another which will kill me. I've also learnt this week I'm taking something which is giving me hearing problems.

Not all of us who go to the doctors go there for fun.

Make people pay for the services they use and you're penalising people with long term medical problems. People like my cousins child who is in and out of hospital because his lungs haven't developed properly and he gets chest infections constantly.

And no, we wouldn't be able to get health insurance either because of the conditions we have.

Stop complaining about people on benefits. They are there to help people survive. Just because you have more money does not mean your life is worth more than mine.

People on benefits are taxed more heavily than the rich. My dad has 80% of his earnings taken because we claim benefits, and so we need the benefit money even more.

Also, to the people saying we should only have private education and healthcare, **** OFF. If you want to put your child into that, go ahead. But not everyone has the money to be able to. Do you want us to become like America, where having a cast taken off will cost you $2000+ and giving birth costs tens of thousands of dollars?!

I wasn't referring to eating habits, I was referring to people paying for each other.

Why rich people have a "duty" to look after the poor people is something I won't understand. I agree that it's the right thing to do, and that the world will be a better place etc, but when it's something FORCED upon you, and tax evasion is crime which could take you to jail, is something I don't agree with at all. Why don't we throw everyone in jail who doesn't volunteer and give to charity - that's basically the same thing.

The rich dont OWE you their money, this is the problem with the working class, until this mindset that the rich OWE them something is removed nothing will change. The rich are being FORCED to hand over their money (yes its the moral thing etc) but they arent your slaves for them to be working 40 hour weeks and for you to be playing the xbox. Yes people have disabilities and im not saying people should not get benefits, but this whole thing that the rich have too much money and should share is the stupidest thing i have heard.
