Off Topic Starmer/ Reeves: last man standing

Do people on benefits pay tax on anything over £12570 ?

 

Only pensioners

 

My wife and i decided not to have children, as other couples have. So why should we help support other peoples families.

 

How many kids do families need to have before you become a twat and don’t want to pay for them?

 

As I have said there are issues that need to be addressed and I think we need cross party debate about this. However, this government is encouraging the long term unemployed back into work and is introducing financial management into the curriculum.

However, letting kids go hungry should not be seen as acceptable as we will never break this depressing cycle.

As a general point we still live in a generally civil society and what is wrong in helping others? I rarely use the health service as I’m fit and healthy and my kids no longer go to school, but I have no issues with funding these services.

Let’s not fall into the trap of these self interested non dom billionaires who are spending a fortune on public opinion and see no benefit in a decent civilised society.

 

Read my posts eh?

This is a big problem for our country. We created a massive underclass in the 80s when we chucked millions on the scrap heap. Look at our mining communities as example and we did next to nothing to get those communities back on their feet after massive job losses and this is the long term legacy.

As I have stated we need to get the long term unemployed back into work. Whatever your political viewpoint that just makes sense on so many levels particularly the long term unemployed and their families more than anyone else.

We also need to get financial management into school curriculums which this government has recently agreed to do. This was obviously lost in the noise of the right wing media but is fundamental in giving kids (some will likely have little good role models at home) basic financial skills so they are not a drain on society and see the value of work.

However as you continue to labour the point, letting kids go hungry should never be an option as hungry kids will never get a good education and we will never break this cycle.

If you are happy for kids to go hungry to teach their parents a lesson fair enough but I think it’s fundamentally wrong and will do absolutely nothing to tackle the major problems in our society.
