Inflation and Benefits

[mikebratcher69]

As far as it goes for me. I hate working 40 or more hours a week, trying to earn money for my family only to have a shit load of it taken off me in tax, etc.
yes I payed for myself as I'm now out of work, but it doesn't help the pitance you get or the fact british bosses thing they own your soul and when you stand up to them and tell them where to go thats you down the road, then you get penalised for losing your job and get less benefits... great when youve got mothes to feed, so the next job you shut up they take advantage you work longer hours, never hardley seeing your family etc working great in england...

I know what the governments after, its the young uns on the estates who never worked and just sit around all day smoking weed.
Thats great, very nobal of you but they punish everone, a lot of people despise people out of work, why I used to work 40 plus hours and after tax, bills etc I probably was left with less than £50 quid to my name...They tell you work for the pride of having a job, wow, whos the fool me working 40 hours for basicaly £50 quid in my hand or the young uns seeing that and going naw, in not a mug I can sit on my arse all day and get more than that. Yes the dole culture is entrenched for the young uns, we've only got our nanny state to blame, but dont label or punish everbody and put them in the same boat as a young weed head, theres lot of decent hard working people on the dole, bringing up a family the right way with morals and law abiding isnt that easy in this day and age with all kids are exposed to. The worlds a different place than it was when we were young, I used to leave a job one day and walk into another the next, you cant do that now, theres hundreds applying for the same job if not more, there arent the same job opportunities anymore, employers are bastards, if youve got a good job count yourself lucky, theres nothing I'd like more than to support my family money wise, but I cant right now. Dont make the mistake of writting us all off.
