Because they've worked hard & earned these benefits !!! Seems like a viable reason !!! And what principle would that be exactly ? I'm sorry but your argument is just so much labor rhetoric & not a proper thought out argument. So your parents if they've got say 20.000 - 60,000 Quid saved in the bank somewhere shouldn't get anything in the way of state handouts (Telly Licence, bus pass etc) on principle ? Well that's the case you're putting across !
What about yourself ? I'm sure you'll feel the same when you come to retire, right alongside your Socialist Brothers & Sisters, marvelous your hard earned cash you'll gladly share with some lazy idle good for nothing who's never done a days work in his/her life through choice, because the State should look after them ! Well I won't be signing up to your Utopic dream thank you very much.
