Life on the dole is not a walk in the park

Now if when he was working, it wasn’t paying so much tax, he could have save a considerable sum of money to tide him over.

However, it was spent by Brown and Blair, and now there is nowt but debt.

So the plug is being pulled.

However, JSA, Free health care, and any other items, and he is still in the top 5% of people on the planet.

He can relax in the warm and fuzzy knowledge, that the government is still shipping cash overseas, after crippling his future employers, if they are still here with taxes to pay for it.

Yep, I am sorry for him. It’s not nice. However, don’t expect the cause of the malaise, government to help.

Yes, but what Darryl doesn’t understand is that IDS *looks really concerned* about poverty, and therefore “gets it”.

Helping the world’s poorest is a convenient cover, isn’t it. It’s not their fault that this government is cutting too far and too fast.

No, he couldn’t. Because he’d need to spend even more money on the necessary services. Which, of course, are typically MORE expensive for poorer people without the economies of scale allowed by universal benefits.

You’re the one working hard to cripple this country, by ensuring that the worst parts of the American model strip away society.

Benefits are miserly in this country, and unemployment an instant disaster. Our job market is a bad joke. There’s a reason the successful nations during these times are…gasp…ones like the Nordic ones.

But no, of course to you they’re ideologically incorrect. And ideology > reality…

Of course, because all modern taxation and economics began in 1997 ! – what a hysterical response.

I am the same age as this guy, have also been working all my life – my working life began under the misery of the 80′s Conservative auctioning off all our manufacturing assets and I continued to fight and struggle to accrue any wealth for the next25 yrs. I am now more poor and earning 60% less than I was during the Labour years because THIS govt has chosen scorched earth destruction over humanity and and future for my kids.

The Labour years were the best in my life, I was able to work, support my family and save, while around me value was given to caring, health, education, service providers and the real work of a humane society.

This guy and I and all our generation face another 30yrs of work now to pay for millionaires while our children have lost their healthcare, their education and any hope of future and secure employment. The debt was global and I am sure Brown and Blair would be delighted to have been so very powerful to have single handedly caused a worldwide financial system collapse. The system of banking that has been allowed to evolve over may many decades and multiple governments across the globe is responsible for the collapse of the house of cards.

In the end it’s about balance, the ability to produce and sell in order to spend and buy. The responsibility of all people, even the richest, to pay their fair share in order to create a society that cares for the needy and the sick – how else do we judge ourselves? Tax works if applied across the board. When billionaires can wipe out their tax bill over lunch at the Ivy while families have their jobs removed, their schools closed, their childrens’ educational hopes crushed, then the system is failing.

I pity your blinkered view – but you are not alone in being brainwashed – many other around you are unable to see past the lies. We have been sold to multinationals for cheap profit and the gravy train.

I hope you are not so unlucky as to be a victim of this govt’s cruelty. If you are, I hope you meet people who are more sympathetic and generous to you, than you have been to him and the huge swathe of families who also suffer through no fault or action of their own.

A typical left-wing argument – the appeal to emotion fallacy.

What about the 2.5 million-2.9 million on long term incapacity benefits that has risen despite a strong economy and employment under Labour?

The 90,000 on the above because for more than ten years due to drug abuse and obesity?

The underclass generated by government sponsorship of fatherless families etc.

These real issues are shirked by the left, because they have no argument.
