Our tax dollars hard at work

hehe that put me in my place!

I don't actually disagree with what you're saying, like I said it was probably the wrong choice of words. There is however a knee-jerk reaction across the pond that when anyone mentions the word "social" they hear "communism". Personally I'm more right-wing and would gladly see these freeloaders actually work than sit there drinking and smoking their handouts from my tax.

We actually have a worst problem here in the UK in terms of people living off the state all their lives. I actually know a few of these teenage mums in my village who specifically fell pregnant to get a house and benefits (and presumably to move away from a difficult home). I don't particularly enjoy watching my tax go to these people, but all they are doing is playing the system. Then they have more kids and get more money. then their kids do the same...

But what would happen if you just pulled the plug?
