Anyway I will have to leave it at that gotta go to work now and I would like to have enough time to eat something on the way.
My suggestion would be to find a good book on the welfare system and read it. Head down to your local library and read, if this is a concern with the political system, but please, please do not act in ignorance. Once you have understand the issues around the welfare state and the arguments both for and against, then you can make a reasonable judgement. It concerns me that so many registered voters have such little understanding of the issues that they vote upon; it is one of the many failings of democracy, and you wouldn't like to hear about my other opinions on democracy.
