How would I get to the pub in the Range Rover without the state handouts?

I think you have defeated your own argument Mick, you say you have paid in so you feel justified in claiming free health care and a state pension.

 

I have paid in too, so I have no qualms about claiming what I am entitled to, eg tax credits, free nursery places, and free school education for my child.

 

Besides, by the time I am a lot younger than you, so I wont get to draw a state pension until I am 85, and by then it will be worth about 50p a week.

 

 

Seriously though, the future of the country depends on people procreating, my daughter will pay your pension, the money that you put in has already been spent. Without another generation of taxpayers the economy will die.

 

If parents had to pay for the medical expenses of pregnancy, all the costs associated with bringing up a child including health care and education, no-one but the very rich would be able to afford it.

I claim tax credits, and i am glad they are there too.

 

all the comments on her for the women who have lost thier fellas and are now single mums, well what about us single dads who lost thier woman???

 

my misses was 28 when she died and i was left with a 5 yr old son to bring up on my own.

The credits paid towards child care and a small living allowance so i could carry on working and not sit on my arse and claim dole.

we had no insurance payout on the death and the mortgage was not paid off.

She had paid tax all her working life, short though it was.

 

I would quite happily give back all the money i have recieved if it brought her back so my son had his mother again!!!!

 

yes i still claim and will continue to.............. but i do think some people do take the p.. with what they get away with

Fairplay to you FWM, and that's what it's intended for, not for the likes of some who keep their 'supposed working hours' to under sixteen hours a week in order to claim.

[Stephen Blair]

i never made the comment the other way because i knew that happened to you, sorry if i offended you.

for some Mick it just doesnt add up to work more hours than that, it is easy to have a rant but you do not have kids, and if you dont you will never understand what it is not to put yourself first, and i dont mean that in a selfish way. BUT it is taking the moral high ground when you dont have kids pulling on your heart strings 24 hours a day. I halfed my wage when i became a dad so to spend time with them. Some people dont have family support, so who is to take the kids after school, and when the child minder earns more than you whats the point, the best thing you can spend on your kids is time, there are plenty of parents that are loaded and work all the time but never see their kids, it doesnt do them any favours.

I do hope that the old grumpys don't injure theirselves and become reliant on the state handouts or this thread might come back to haunt them!!!!

 

Oh, but im sure they will say that they are only getting back what they paid in. Im quite sure that what they have paid in would soon be swollowed up.
