I understand where your coming from.
But where's the preventative measures in people just being lazy and not bothering to get a job, staying at home and getting tax exemption along with a living benefits to live/buy food.
It'd Need people to be looking into things very stringicly.
For example, my friend bens mum claims that she has back problems....and gets benefits for her to sit on her arse and do sweet F.A to benefit the country (paying tax's or working on its own) Whenever i go round their house is spotless as she tidies everyday. And one of the main things needed to get her benefits... is to be almost bed ridden, and unable to make a sandwich. Sounds stupid but is 100% true.
Now she drives a manual car (more straining than an automatic)
Tides everyday and cooks every meal for the family.
me and my other friends have had our opinions and said to ben about his mum being a scrounger on the benefit system.
He had his house paid off by the council aswell. not a council house. but as She had no job and was on benefits they wheren't able to support themselves. so the council wrote off their debts on their mortgage.
Its people like that who abuse the system....that really piss me off, especially as i pay my tax's, not only for his mum to get benefits she shouldn't have, but as his family income is under 30grand, he used to get a EMA £30 a week, and bonuses every term!
Taxing the rich however....just go for it, when i play sim city i lower the tax's to start off with, then when i have a load of $$$ population...i raise the tax's so bloody high they don't know what hits em!
