"Id just like to add something I found on a recent website, with some working people doing what they do best at the unemployed, slagging them/me/us off, this was a great mans ( Michael Caits) reply..".


I'm not working, not had a full time job since 1998 which I elected to give up when our son was born, WE do not claim benefits, we do not expect society or the state to pay for our upkeep, we dont not expect handouts because we have kids. We waited 20 years before we started a family, We used our life savings to sustain us during our childs early years we did not run to Surestart or other politically correct establishment. Money is desperately tight, I have washed windows, cut lawns, transported rubbish, done 18 hour nights as a security guard, but I do not want or expect anything from this filthy parasitic insidious welfare state that make people think the state or society OWES them anything.
Indeed if my poor wife who has at times done two jobs to keep us fed was not being hammered with a total taxation bill of nearly 41% we could be fully self sufficient and much happier. But unfortunately in this parasite infested nation we have to part with over a full third of our income so the money can be spent ( wasted) on the welfare state.

Why should we pay via taxes for libraries we dont use, swimming pools and sports facilities we will never visit, why am I paying for community buses, meals on wheels, subsidising council tax, play groups, gay and lesbian advice centers etc etc. It is immoral and wrong that we should be paying anything for something that does not directly benefit us, It is wrong that other people think that because misfortune has frowned upon them that someone else should pay their living costs.

We should be cutting welfare to the bare bones and limit to six months max for any claim, Cut taxation and VAT to 10% each, Cut fuel duty and scrap most of the welfare system, get the economy rolling and create jobs.

My families earning would be much better used if we only had 10% going out in taxation to pay for absolute essentials, the other 31% saved could transform our quality of life and we would not be struggling.

Two old devils on local radio last week grubling how bad state pensions are and how they arte struggling, yet one worked at ICI for 41 years but CHOSE not to join the pension scheme, both are known for being in the workies or Labour club almost every night after work, both have lived their entire lives in Council houses and now reside in retirement bungalows. Both have contributed almost nothing towards their own retirement fund and like most lefties now think someone else should pay for them. A follow up caller was a chap who had saved part of his salary at the steel coil works, but Gordon Brown raided part of it years ago. He had his own semi det house not far from my mums, he could not sell it to give the money to his kids he was forced to sell it to pay for his wifes place in a care home. Naturally those who never saved or contributed in any of the 60 plus years this welfare state has existed get their place in the home for free.
The best form of government is the one that governs least, takes least and wastes least on welfare.
