While I have no problem with my tax supporting people who genuinely cannot work and support themselves, who else feels our taxes are going to people who dont deserve it either from laziness or their choices?
All the way through my life, I have made smart long term decisions for the future. I came from a poor background but I managed to get an education, I never resorted to crime, I didnt take drugs and I didnt have children and wont until such time that I am ready. I have found a good job, I work hard and I save as much money as I can for that rainy day, although in truth I just about get by.
If I had utterly cocked my life up, made some shitty life choices & maybe spawned a few bastard kids, I know from people who live close to me that I would be living better then I do now.
Is it me or has the welfare state got to the stage where there is no point making an effort any more? Im never going to be rich anyway, so why not get the money as a handout and enjoy life without work?
