Re: Child Benefit

No, it isn't the right way(and it was always so... The rich get richer and the poor are always going to be with us), but neither is it right for some families to be working full time and bringing in less money than those who are sitting on their behinds(having children they cannot afford to feed and support)and getting more money in handouts than those pulling their tripes out to make sure they can feed their children.

No one ever promised that life would be fair.
In life it is a bit like playing a trombone...the tune you get is dependent on the effort you exert...it is no good expecting a fancy house, a nice car, fags and beer and fancy holidays if you are not prepared to stir your stumps and make it happen.
Being an adult means you have choices, but all of them come with consequences and responsibilities.
You cannot abdicate these and expect the rest of society to pick up the bill.
