Why do a lot of the British public hate people on benefits?

Since when have we hated everyone on benefits? last time i checked we just didn't like those people who abuse the benefit system (the benefit fraudsters, the ones who dont bother looking for jobs etc) - people who have a genuine need for benefits are not hated.

The Queen never worked a day in her life, but I bet you've been the first to send your congrats to Wills and Kate on their new arrival. Lol

Its not all people on benefits, its those who can work, but choose not to, as they cant be bothered, the culture where Labour made it possible for those who were not in work to earn more than those who do.

Hearing of families that have 8 children who get a free 6 bedroom house, free car and living fairly lavish lifestyle's funded purely by the tax payer, is quite disgusting. This was fairly common place where I used to live

But my question is why do you dislike these people at all? As David Icke and the conspiracy theorists have been saying, these people at the bottom of the pile are not your enemy. Why don't you express the same revulsion for the parasitic elite?

One has been raised with the idea that, when living in Britain we cannot let the state give us hand-outs. We must provide for ourselves. Make our own wage - make a living and support our family.

This is why I am totally against the idea of 'benefits'

unless, there are circumstances, where people are unable to work due to disabilities or having children and the case of working becomes a burden on their life.

The Royal Family inject millions of pounds per year into the British economy. They also pay taxes.

Prince William has a job.

'lol'

Ahhh that old chestnut

Good for tourism as well are they? LOL

The fact is, there are people who are BETTER off on benefits than if they were working a minimum wage job. Benefits are too high and people shouldn't have to make the decisions of 'doing the right thing and working but getting less money than they would if they were on benefits' and that's a big issue.

I mean, of course the welfare system is a great system and it does help a lot of people who do need it BUT it needs to be majorly reformed. If there are people who are outright lazy and don't want to hold down a job then they shouldn't be entitled to benefits.

Because people don't want to recognize that we live in an unfair society that favours the rich and continues to oppress everyone else.
