Inflation and Benefits

[bigpaul]

you've got to realise these days that ALL taxes go into a general pot. gone are the days when your car tax went on mending the roads or even your national insurance went to fund pensions and benefits, it ALL goes into the Treasury and gets paid out to whatever the govt wants to spend the money on. as for scrapping Welfare, this has been around since the year i was born and if you scrap it you have to replace it with something else, say a personal insurance scheme-self contributing, you pay into it when your working and draw off it when your unemployed or sick, that way EVERYONE has too work for at least part of their life and you wont get these families who have never worked.
