A "why bother?" economy has been created in Britain which has left thousands with no motivation to work, a report published today concludes.
Successive governments have encouraged a welfare culture that has left every family facing a £1,300 bill because the poor stay poor, it claims.
The findings by the public services think tank Reform suggest that increased welfare dependency has made it more difficult for those on the lowest incomes to do better.
Why won't these people just THINK about the implications of such things as free money first, so they don't have to suffer the harsh lessons of reality by living their mistakes?!
Honestly, if you think you've got a great idea to help people, just run it by me. I'll field it (for free even!) and be more than happy to let you know that; "Yes, giving people money for doing nothing lessens their incentive to do something!" and, "Taking money from people who pay taxes and giving it to people who don't pay taxes discourages spending, alienates tax payers, and waste a lot of money!" and such gems as, "Lowering the bar for minorities is racism, condescension, and the same as saying they can't compete because they're too stupid!"
I can't believe I'm just giving these away! Save billions, yes, literally, BILLIONS of dollars WHILE increasing revenue and making people happier and more self-reliant!
---Oh wait... Did I hit a nerve with that self-reliant bit?
Sorry guys, forgot what you were all about.
