You’re talking sense on this issue of benefits and I assume you’re getting thumbs down because it’s you.
When we lived in the UK, we lived in an area where there was a high dependency on benefits, I remember being in the Post Office and some old fart was telling this teenage girl with a couple of kids in the pushchair what other benefits she could get for the children but obviously she could spend it on what she liked.
I hated the fact that I worked full-time, paid an extortionate amount of tax and National Insurance, paid a small fortune for child-minding, was knackered all the time and all my hard-earned taxes were funding these kind of people. We voted with our feet and left and so many other people did and are still doing so too.
Wake up UK before you have no tax-payers left!
