State Benefits

I hate people who live off the system. I know people that the second they loose their job they head right for the food stamps and state help. I know people who get loans for schooling and state help and they'll have a hard time paying it back once they are out of schooling. I've been out of work for almost a year now and never once did I go for food stamps ot the local food sheltor. That is for people who really need it. I'm one of the lucky ones though. I have family that would and has helped me when I need it. The family in question should be made to pay back everything the have sucked from the system and then some. In my opinion they should also be "fixed" so they can't have any more kinds and if they do they should be taken away and given to good homes.

Flippin' 'eck, There's only me and my partner in my flat and we aren't entitled to anything because he's a year too young and works too many hours to get one type of benefit and too few hours to get another type, right I'm off to tell him we need to have 15 kids so we can get some money.

Oh, right, so that's how to get money for nothing, maybe I should have fourteen more children too then. I think that's disgusting! Why don't any of them work? I can understand if they are all on some of disability living allowance because they can't physically work, that's fine, but if it's just because they can't be bothered, that's disgusting. Why should our tax money go to people like that? Basically everyone who works for a living is paying into the kitty to keep those people, that's appalling. We don't actually have too much money coming in, my other half works over 40 hours a week and we can just about pay our bills and buy food, maybe I should tell him to quit his job so as the government can pay us for doing nothing.

That shouldn't be allowed. If he is living with a wife and a girlfriend then the girlfriend should be counted as a lodger. That makes 20 people altogether in one place ALL living on benefits. I don't have a problem with people who need to use the benefit system but that is definitely exploitation. This kind of thing makes me angry because, as you say, the state benefits are supposed to be there for those who need it. There is never money for important things and there never will be when the government just gives out money to people like that. I can't imagine how much money they would be getting and then there are people who are really trying to stretch the money they have whether it's from working or from benefits and then you get this. Are both his wife and girlfriend counted as his dependants? Are they both counted as partners?

oh don't feel bad.. this happens all the time in the USA! So many people are out there living off of the goverments money because they are too lazy to get off their a**.. and yet those who really need the help can't get it! like me.. i have a family of 3 that only makes 24,000 a year between the two adults and were $200 over the limit to get any help!
