Default Easy benefits solution

In 2009/10, the Treasury is expecting to take in £140.5 billion in gross income tax receipts. Social security benefits are projected to be £164.7 billion. source

How to solve this?

Your benefit payments can NEVER exceed the amount of tax you have paid into the government

So, the genuine hard working guy who gets made redundant can get all the benefits he is entitled to until he gets back to work.

The lifetime dole scroungers get nothing


Do I get your vote?

Great idea although we'll never leave people destitute in the UK, more's the pity in many instances If that is true then we live in a reet fecked up country mind ...

TX.

PS

Here's another idea - start giving away less of our taxes rather than give away more & raise taxes

I don't think a middle class couple NEED child benefit...

IMHO

P.S. Good idea JB Or how about a fixed ceiling, so those on benefit have no right to more, possibly getting less as unemployment soars next year... !

Or limit the amount of benefits per household or put a cap on how many children is deemed as reasonable, should save a fair fortune won't half upset a few folk, granted some will be genuine but the vast majority id imagine are scroungers living the life of riley.

A pretty screwed up one!

Forget NHS cuts, we should cut back on the handouts!
