National Statistics Online
and 1/3 of all homes are in reciept of Govt. benefits for at least 1/2 of its income, and therefore are non contributors to the system
One third of homes dependent on benefits - Telegraph
simple math shows that a majority of the population 1/5 +1/3 = 8/15 (20% +33.3% = 53%) is being financially supported by a lesser number of legitimate taxpayers , hardly conducive to a competive economy  |
Very easy - You employ another couple of million civil servants and then you screw everyone else to pay the bill.
It does get the unemployment figures down for a while.
