why do people who contribute nothing (tax) to society get given a better quality of life in free housing and handouts than those who go out to work their guts out for minumum wage but are working nonetheless.

Where do you get your information?

Life on benefits is mostly fecking dreadful, and the quality of it is pox.

So the answer to your question is THEY DON'T

Come to think of it - This (lower classes) is the attitude adopted by 2 types.
1. The upper middle class, and people bred into money, who run everything and are happy to send masses of the population out as cannon fodder.
2. Unthinking Tories.

I Believe Marie Antoinette had the right attitude towards them and indeed their dietary needs.
(she didn't actually say that but still this is chit let's not let the truth get i the way)

On a more serious note though anyone who tihnks the underclasses don't cause a hell of a lot of the nation's ill's must be either blind or deaf or both.(cue bleeding hearts to mention bankers/financial crisis)

They contribute so very little to the society they live in and all that giving them a ridiculous amount of benefit has done is bred a type of "never have worked never will work chav class"

It's nothing new though let's not kid ourselves that the country hasn't always been blighted by this filth,it's just they don't doff their caps when we pass them in the street anymore.

Some hideous generalisations in this thread IMO. It's good to be aspirational, but the snobbery of some of you towards the poor is ridiculous and unfounded. Thatcher's vision of the aspirational society merely degenerated into a situation where you can denigrate somebody for having less money than you.
Report Des Pond • January 8, 2010 1:33 AM GMT
Fair play if you do "work your guts out" . There are many, however, who get paid ridiculous amounts of money for sinecures. The fact that they do little or nothing to earn their over-inflated salaries, is conveniently forgotten when they complain about the amount they "pay" in Tax.
