We've got a new government and they are doing their best to reduce the huge deficit that the Labour government left and, painful as it is, they are doing it the right way. The issue here isn't the government or the fact that we're going to have it tough for a while.
My gripe is regarding the whining and complaining of those who are on a good salary and are getting child benefit too. It was their choice to have a child, or children for those who have more than one. The thing is, why should the taxpayer support them? How about starting to live within your means - including saving for your future and retirement years? I suppose most of these moaners will want the government to pay for them in their old age too, which of course will include holidays abroad, cigarettes, drink etc.
Get off my back you spongers. I've brought up my family during the period when you were assisted with maternity benefit only for the first child and child benefit only began with a second child - though I bet most people are not aware that actually the government took more child taxation out of wages than was given back in child benefit! But what have these people ever contributed to society? Very little, except perhaps for yet more mouths to feed and more spongers to claim benefits in the future!
Why should I, as a pensioner, support these moaners via my taxes...
Why should I, as a pensioner, support these moaners via my taxes, so that they can live the life of Reilly and I have to think carefully as to whether I can eat or heat. It's about time the plug was pulled on ALL benefits and we went back to supporting ourselves by our own means.
I'm fed up with spongers living an easy life whilst those of us who have worked hard and paid taxes all our life have to struggle.

Firstly, if you pay in you can claim (for a specific period of time based on how much you have paid in over the years). For example someone who’s paid in 30,000 should be able to claim more back than someone who’s paid in 3,000.
Secondly, if you haven’t paid in then guess what you get nothing back.
Thirdly, if you’re out of work for longer periods than your payments will meet, and you are not disabled then you should work for any extra benefit payments. E.g. picking up littler for 37.5 hours per week.
Finally anyone refusing to work after 3 warnings should be hanged from Blackfriars bridge as a warning to others.
Many of her children will no doubt expect to do the same in the future - a cycle of learned behaviour. And yes, let's face up to reality, many of the very young women seen with their pushchairs and children have the social skills of a rock, barely able to rise above their own immediate needs of selfishness and self-centredness.
That's what happens when a welfare system essentially encourages people barely out of childhood themselves to have children.
Recently a mother who has conceived 11 children by various fathers has made more money and a nice life style for her self. It is time it was stopped!
We need to understand most of our Politicians,Bankers, Lawyers and Judges are landlords or moneylenders, should we not be calling them spongers, this great Nation is on its knees because of their activities.Single Mothers look after their children, they should always be helped,
We are darned well paying for your selfishness. YOU chose to have kids and we are forced to pay for them and for people like you to sit around taking taking taking taking all day. YOUR lifesyle choices are being forced upon us in that WE have to pay. It seems we earn our money in part to keep the likes of you. This is outragous.
Don't tell us to adopt your lifestyle and stop griping at you - some of us have self-respect, some of us like to do something contructive within society, and some of us like to take responsibility for our own lives thank you very much. The thing that annoys me is we have to pay to keep you, your children (not their fault and I hope they turn out better than you), your health-care (I remember you love to smoke and enjoy drinking - not a problem if you pay your taxes but I resent paying for someone elses bad health-choices) and the real insult is there's not enough money in the goverment pot to fund the pensions of those who have worked and paid into the blooming pot in the first place! People like you are takling our future away so DON'T tell us to stop griping at you!!!!!
