But rather than stymie existing and future claims in order to save potential billions, why didn't the government examine the process and make it better? Easier to use? More accessible to those who need it? Because paying all people decent earnings for work done is a good thing, right? No one wants labour ripped off, right? Our entire community benefits when work is rewarded properly and fairly, and the gap between rich and poor continues to shrink? Fair pay for everyone?
Right?
" why didn't the government examine the process and make it better?"
That'd be because they're a rightwing Neo Liberal party; therefore not in the business of makings better for most people. Just those who are wealthy or about to be wealthy...

You didn’t buy any stocks in my

You didn’t invest in my

I made the world for the rich
And the will-be-rich
And the have-always-been-rich
Not for you
Hungry child."
