Re: 1 in 4 living off benefits

i dont think it has any relevance, that housewifes and students are included in the figures, the debate has moved on, and most people agree that there are people on benefits that shouldnt be, the question is are we as a society happy to accept this as inevitable, and any system will always be abused, or asses the system and swing the balance back in favour of the honest claimant, dont forget these people that claim falsley are not only stealing from us the tax payer, but they are stealing from the most vulnerable in society, these people mays as well steal the cancer drugs out of somebodys cabinet, or mug an old woman of her pension, or turn off a premature babys incubator, what they are doing amounts to the same, and the general concensus is that the majority of you are quite happy to let them get away with it, just in case a minority of genuine cases may find it more difficult, or it heaven forbid we actually send someone to get some exercise
