I would hesitate to accuse anyone here, but it might be worth thinking about how we position ourselves to avoid making it even harder for future generations.

To be honest, when I was still in PI I never thought that people here were having support from the government. I never knew that low-income earners were being paid by the taxpayers. That there are such things as these:
Low-Income benefits (I thought It was so unfair)
Disability Allowance
Sick Pay
Maternity Pay
Paternity Allowance
etc etc...

But then again, all I can say is that, I am extremely grateful that we are having benefits here. That the government is PAYING US BACK, a very small fraction of the taxes that we have paid. We are not guilty or whatsoever. I think it is just fair.

But, I still am very crossed about BENEFIT THIEVES...
