Nats to "crack down on people on benefits"

[Olive]

If someone has been under educated, raised in generational poverty both financial and  in other ways, they have limited hopes and dreams. They know their opportunities are limited, and see no reason to fight a system that agrees with them, so they play the game and do their own thing. Which can be very destructive.
Punishing them only beds that attitude in further. And generates real anger...

so the taxpayer should carry them for the rest of their lives along with feeding their children at school is that what you want?

I am a long term tax payer, pakeha and as such a recipient of the benefits of colonisation.  I am willing to carry financially the citizens of our country who are struggling with the intergenerational damage caused by my English antecedents' land grabs and suppression of indigenous culture, and also the citizens who have mental and physical health challenges which make their working lives precarious.   

Would you prefer that children starve?
