projection Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Lets just focus on unemployed and people who are too ill to work, is it a case of dividing the total received per year in benefits for one unemployed/sick person, divided by how many employed people there is? would anyone like this money back?

martin6 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Only about 10% of tax goes to benefits 50% of which is pensions, so you would only be due a few quid. Footballers may fare better! It probably needs a better calculation as a lot of benefit money goes back into taxation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's focus on mean spirited sanctimonious gits who post crap about the poor. Should they be made to live in sewers and eat turds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuminati9 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Why don't you work out how many people on minimum wage it takes to feed a family of 4 on dole claiming 20k a year . Each person on minimum wage pays around £25 tax. It takes 16 hard working people on basic wage to keep a lazy family of 4, it's that fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large proportion of working people aren't net contributors at all. Are you? ---------- Post added 21-07-2015 at 14:36 ---------- Why don't you work out how many people on minimum wage it takes to feed a family of 4 on dole claiming 20k a year . Each person on minimum wage pays around £25 tax. It takes 16 hard working people on basic wage to keep a lazy family of 4, it's that fair? There's no answer, none of them are net contributors. People working on minimum wage (and quite a long way above it) take more from the state than they ever pay in. ---------- Post added 21-07-2015 at 14:38 ---------- http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-2215070/Are-contributor-burden-nations-finances--Squeezed-middle-increasingly-dependent-state.html Some explanation here for what I mean. ---------- Post added 22-07-2015 at 08:23 ---------- No answer from the OP? They don't want to volunteer whether they are even a net contributor :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
