They just don't get it do they

Well the cuts to the public purse have begun and the world and his brother are already moaning about it but you can bet your sweet life that those moaning loudest are the ones that are better off than most. The biggest problem with a lot of people in tihis country is they feel they have an 'entitlement' to a good and comprehensive health service, good education for their children combined with tax credits and benefits and then a darned good pension when they retire whether they have worked or not. But what they forget is that these goodies have to be paid for and they don't grow on trees! There are a lot of people who will never be able to work because of disabilities or illness and yes, we have to support these people because they did not choose their life to be like this and in many cases a lot of them would work if they could. On the other hand there are those who have skived all of their lives and claim they are unable to work for various reasons such as a 'bad back' which doctors are unable to disprove. Hopefully, the new tests will weed a lot of these people off benefits and onto jobseeker's allowance. These people will probably pay very little into the pot during their lifetime, living on benefits and getting their housing paid for but they will still expect a pension just the same as the person who has got up early every day and worked for the whole of their life, some even doing more than one job at a time just to pay the bills. Wake up everyone! If you want to enjoy a health service, policing, rubbish collections, free education, a good pension etc. then you've got to pay for it.
