Nats to "crack down on people on benefits"

[Lilith7]

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?

Ah - so don't mind stepping over starving people in the street then - you may want to be a bit careful though, apparently the dead ones have an annoying tendency to stick to the feet, & could absolutely ruin those ever so expensive shoes...    

You know what? If there are hungry kids then what you do is  feed them; you don't muck about enquiring into whether or not their parents are going hungry themselves, or whether they're shiftless, or vote left or whatever your pathetic objection might be. You feed those kids.

And if you really want to look at this issue solely in terms of cost then consider the cost of helping people survive by supporting them as opposed to the cost of a rising crime & mental health rate, & cost of imprisoning people for years.
