benefits. i have paid taxes all my life and have retired, what are you going to do to encourage people not to live off benefits all their lives. or the-i-hate-the-scroungers-that-i-read-about-in-the-daily-mail question.
(and just to let you know i am rochelle has poured baby oil on herself but i am still concentrating on this, give me a medal.)
clegg lift income tax threshold is a good incentives. he says too many people make the sensible decision that when they do the sums that work is not always profitable.
brown says no life on the dole. forced to work. more about young people who are unemployed. compulsion to work. get those on incapacity off benefit and into work. work is about self-esteem.
cameron if you can work we will do all we can for you, but if you are offered a job but you don't take it you can't have benefits.
if ever there were signs that these people are not in touch with what is going on out there.
employment may be the way to self-esteem but minimum wage is not great.
they may as well start talking about the workhouse.
there may be a lot of benefit fraud going on out there, but there are a lot of employers who are happy to take the piss out of people.
of course none of them are going to campaign to see wages raised to a sensible and decent level.
now i have to say as a middle-aged (oh ok old) unemployed bloke i am bored with hearing about the effort of getting the youth back to work, think about the oldsters out there.
they all agree that benefits should be conditional. oddly i agree with them, but it isn't just about penalising those on benefits and look to what the employer should be doing. (yeah like that is going to happen).
