Not everyone can work. Some people have learning disabilites, some have mental issues and some are disabled. Are you saying they don't desereve there benefits?
Single parents who look after there kids 24/7 and can't get jobs. Who cares if its kids having kids it dosnt mean people should be vindictive and scrap the benefit's they get.
An actually the credit crunch is good, it means things are lowered in pure desperation, in fact my sister got a new flat because the rent was lowered. All the christmas presents are lowered because games are in competition.
Some people need the money to support there family because there jobs dont offer them good money, or they just dont have a job.
An EMA isnt even that bad, I agree with it anyways. Its indepedence really isnt it? You don't take out your parents money because you have your own, learning to stand on your own to feet and using it wisely.
My sister gets taxed alot, she works in 3 the phone shop but she dosn't complain afterall shes earning more then the people on benefits are isn't she?
An its not all about the fact they did bad in school, some people just dont have good luck, or have got disabilites or problems once leaving school.



I dont see why everyone complain's, everyone gets taxed and nearly everyone has some sort of benefits.

[Imp!]

unless your disabled in anyway, then yes benefits should be scrapped. Get off your fat ass and get a job god!

[buttons]

people have they jobs they just don't get paid very well & therefore depend on benefits!! jeez.

[kk.]

some people are narrow minded. Whoever has said yes to scrapping benefits should really need to be re-educated. The current situation has left many people unemployed (including my brother and my dad shortly) which cant be helped and was necessary. If you think about the number of people who have been made redundant youll begin to see that the demand for jobs is high but the supply and needs of business is much, much lower. If my dad loses his job, my mum would become the sole wage earner which is £100 a week which im sure many of you will realise, isnt a lot for 6 people :/. Hes 50+ so the likelyhood of him getting another job is little.

Benefits such as the jobs seekers allowance is given to people who are actively seeking job and ca proove they are by going into the job centre and looking. As some have said, benefits should only be given to people who really need it. Even disabled people can find work whether its at home on the computer or phone, or commuting. I mean lets face it, if they dont want help, they shouldnt be given it. I guess its a different story when it comes to allowances and being able to park closer to a shop.

anyway, my rants over. No, benefits should not be stopped but supplied to people who need it

Should benefits be scrapped ?

In my opinion yes they should. It basicly encourges people to stay at hme and would be alot better spend on something like a hospital. The thing that annoys me is EMA, They are giving students money for being at collage for education and they go and spend it on things like phones. This annoys me even more when people who accually pay there taxs and do godo for the country get jack **** but lazy scroungers get it all.

It really does make me sick that the **** we pay for. My parents pay there tax, for what some chav to go to school that all you get is a ruck of abuse off them. In my opinion they should be writing thank you letters.

Anyway your views.

Not all of them are like that there are people with actuall problems i think your point is valid but you fail to look at it from the other side. If your not getting ema that means your parents are rich. While these kids parents are not and some do just stay at home and do nothing but there are other who have no choice who struggle through life who want the best for thier kids but cant achive that. Like i said think of it from other sides point of view. Because if it was you like that im sure you would like some help as well.
