About time too

At last a politician has stuck his neck out and said what many of us have thought for a very long time. It's time to cap the benefits and stop paying families with lots of children that don't work, more in benefits than many hard working and honest parents earn in wages.
For all those ostrich type of do-goody-busy-bodies, it's high time they got their heads out from their backsides and took a look at how the world goes round and listen to the people around them.
Governments in the past have encouraged a benefit dependant society but only now are they waking up to the problems and enormous cost to the taxpayers. When I worked in the Jobcentre we were all very aware of the problems. Sometimes we had three generations of one family who had never worked in their lives yet continued to produce offspring with almost the same frequency as rabbits. Most of the mothers were single and usually claimed they didn't know who the father was so consequently these men never contribute financially to the bringing up of their children, yet they carry on reproducing.
It isn't only the Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance that we pay to these people but the child benefit, child tax credits, housing benefit and council tax benefits too. Most weeks we can also open the newspapers to read about a couple who don't work and have eleven children and are now expecting their twelfth child. They proudly proclaim that they love children and always wanted a big family and also want the council to give them an even bigger house (at no cost to themselves obviously).
Well that's all very well but they should take responsibility for their actions and darned well make sure they have the wherewithall to support them when they give birth. Why should the taxpayer pay for their pleasures? I know there are some families where one or both parents may have been made redundant and are finding it hard to manage and who do deserve temporary support, but for those who have never worked, they should think themselves to have been very fortunate so far. If they were in any other country, they would not be supported entirely by the state the way that they are here.
Another thing the do-goody-busy-bodies should remember is that most child poverty is caused by parents who smoke and drink away the child benefit and child tax credits which are meant to help them provide food to put on their children's plates. You can see these mothers in any shopping centre, usually obese and unkempt with a cigarette dangling from their mouth, a couple of kids in a pushchair and every time they open their mouths it becomes obvious that they never received any English grammar lessons when they were at school.
If the benefits are capped and these lazy people don't like it, then I suggest they emigrate to another country and they will soon find out how lucky they have been to receive all this money for so long.
