Welfare sluts
One of the biggest problems we've got in society is the amount of money we're wasting on paying so-called single mothers millions in benefits.
Why?
Because they got pregnant and couldn't be bothered to do the decent thing and marry the bloke?
Well, the way I see it, you've got to take the consequences of what you do in life. If you're going to go around having it off and you're up the duff as a result, well, I'd say that's YOUR problem.
Why should WE have to pick up the tab for a bunch of slappers?
And look at all the goodies they get given to them on a plate - free council homes, housing benefit, "lone parent" benefit, family allowance, free teeth, free pretty well everything! Those "single mums" are nothing but a bunch of freeloaders!
Well, it's high time this particular gravy train got run right into the buffers!
If a bloke goes with a prostitute and has it off with her she isn't going to come on to him for money if she winds up with a bun in the oven!
So why should WE be expected to fork out OUR hard-earned dosh so that a bunch of part-time sluts can live high on the hog on OUR money just because they couldn't keep their legs closed?
These girls aren't "single mums" or "lone parents;" they're welfare sluts getting paid by the taxpayer for having it off!
So how can we get rid of the problem of these welfare sluts?
The first thing to do is to stop REWARDING the girls for opening their legs and start PUNISHING them for it!
Here's my five-point plan for getting rid of the problem of welfare sluts for GOOD.
1 Take away their council homes 2 Take away their housing benefit 3 Take away their "lone parent" benefit and family allowance 4 Take away their bastard kids and put them up for adoption with MARRIED couples 5 Send the lazy slags out to do a PROPER day's work!
If we do all that then these welfare sluts will disappear overnight..
And a good thing too!

The problem is created by rich business owner's greed. They depressed the average wage so low that it doesn't pay to work! A job is supposed to pay way more than welfare.
I also blame an education system and a society that doesn't teach girls better that it's important to take a role in society. It's self fulfillment. It's desirable, to go to college and have a career. (first, anyway)
Oh I know being a full time mother and housekeeper is 1) honorable, 2) impossible to do properly while working, and 3) that causes a lot of problems with kids not being brought up better.
But still...to pick for a goal in life to live on welfare?
Again, and most, I blame big business for making it unprofitable to work a job. In my country, those who do that to our society are called "Republicans" and they ought to be against the law!

I think you'll find most single mothers lived with their partners before splitting up; being alone isn't necessarily their fault. There is a minority who choose parenthood as a career, but now that they have to look for work when their youngest reaches seven (has it gone down toi five?) it isn't such an attractive option.
Even single parents in jobs do get more money than those without, but the benefit can be very marginal once travelling and childcare costs are taken into account.

And we are talking about England, yea. In the States right now though, our nation's largest employer pays way way less than what welfare gives, in fact if you work full time for them (Wal-Mart), you cannot afford to live indoors, and you'd be so poor they'd actually give you some food stamps even though you work full time. So it's a shambles here. People who work an honest week, cant pay rent, while people on welfare get their rent paid for them.

Good heavens! Yes, I was talking about the UK where we have a decent minimum wage, and benefits to top that up.

I'm a single parent (following divorce) and I've never claimed a penny in benefits, my ex husband and I have always worked and it does grieve me to see people who don't want to work and instead get pregnant getting everything for free, it's totally wrong imo

I don't believe the problem of welfare leeches should be solely directed at unwed mothers. Whenever you set up a system like that, you invite the worst members of society to find ways to take advantage.
For example, here is a December 2012 newspaper article from the USA….
A Seattle woman who is receiving welfare assistance from Washington state also happens to live in a waterfront house on Lake Washington worth more than a million dollars.
Federal agents raided the home this weekend but have not released the woman or her husband's name because they have not officially been charged with a crime.
However, federal documents obtained by KING 5 News show the couple currently receives more than $1,200 a month in public housing vouchers, plus state and government disability checks and food stamps. They have been receiving the benefits since 2003.
The 2,500 square-foot home, which includes gardens and a boat dock, is valued at $1.2 million. And even though the couple has been receiving the benefits for nearly 10 years, records show that they accurately listed the address of their current home when applying for the state and federal benefits. A federal official told KING 5 that the couple likely took advantage of a loophole, which allows low-income individuals to receive financial assistance to help them pay their rent and move away from housing projects. However, the law does not require officials to verify what type of home the benefits recipient is living in.
As if the million dollar home weren't enough, the supposedly low-income couple also gave money to various charities and traveled around the world to locales in Turkey, Tel Aviv and resort towns in Mexico, according to court records.

These 11 States now have more people on welfare than they do employed! The Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid, and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What is the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25.00 an hour. Attachments:

To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25.00 an hour. I find this claim hard to believe, just as I find it impossible to find mention of it on the internet. However if we are in a "death spiral", might I suggest the cause of death would be NAFTA? The republican good ole boys selling all our jobs and the hell with what it causes?So this is our victimizer blaming its victims? The numbers used here and how they're stated is misleading if not entirely wrong. Social security ISNT "welfare", it's insurance people buy for themselves in case they ever need it. Insurance they buy. Think of car insurance, that's something you buy, and when you use it, it's no one's damn business but yours, you payed for it. It's not a handout. So is there any such thing as "welfare"? Well in Massachusetts we LOAN 300 dollars a month to social security applicants, and we give food stamps to anyone who cant afford to eat. Is that bad? I cant think of a more hollow worthless noise than that of the republican party. All it's claims are lies. All of them. Everything that party encourages its followers to parrot is all BS. Really. It kind of freaks me out. And consider that this "party" used its money to cancel the 'truth-in-advertising-laws', the equal time law - and so really anything that would get in the way of lying and having no one able to correct the mistatements. So first it sells all our jobs, and now it wants to blame the victims of that as if they're just lazy or something because they're impoverished from being unable to find jobs.This is the party that rather than pay a fair share of tax would take help from children and sick people. The party that would suck the money and even the jobs out of the economy and then encourage all those suffering from it to blame each other. Meanly. Republicans should be stopped.

Is there any state help given to those on low wages to top up their income? ~food stamps, a maximum of 200 dollars a month for a family ~WIC (a small amount of food aid for mothers with small children) these supplemental food programs never raise with the cost of living, because the republicans wont allow it, because helping people is evil,

No they should change the system so that it is not more profitable for people to be on state handouts than working because when that happens the scroungers will sit on their backsides while the rest of us work to pay their benefits........the truly needy need the help not the majority of people who are on benefits and do not because there is no reason they could not work. When you make it so that people are better off on benefits than working what do you think will happen ? people will not work and instead claim the benefits.

When you make it so that people are better off on benefits than working what do you think will happen ? people will not work and instead claim the benefits. I suspect we live in two different situations. In the U.S., 47 million are on food stamps, not out of laziness, but because the government - THE REPUBLICANS - sold all our jobs and suppressed the minimum wage such that even if someone working class gets lucky and lands a job now, it wont pay enough to not be actually homeless. If there are those who opt to go on Social Security when they find themselves hopelessly unemployed, I cant fault them for choosing to live indoors. That is a different choice than choosing a "free ride". And you dont get Social Security without going through a horrendous screening process to prove beyond doubt that you need it and are unfit for any kind of employment otherwise. It's very hard to get "welfare" here. Yes, it should pay more to work than not to, of course. But the rich in this country created this situation and are the only ones who could correct their grievous wrongdoings. Anyway, we just dont have the situation you have. The majority on benefits here are on it through need and by proving it the hard way.
