This is all really quite vague; and it raises many more questions than it attempts to answer. The rhetorical question about "people (wanting) to better themselves" begs questions concerning "better". Do folks become better merely by becoming wealthier? Is wealth the measure of man? Are the wealthiest therefore the best? The tories certainly seem to think so. And is pride nothing more than the aquisition of property? I remember when pride involved, among many other things, polishing the brass on the door, cleaning the windows, and stoning the front step. I remember when people were proud of being working class.
And who are these people in "real need"? And why, in one of the richest countries in the world are they in "real need"? Is it really the fault of the "workshy" that there are people in "real need"?
