We encourage failure because of our over generous current benefits system and waste billions on meaningless bureaucracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-16217620405703046972010-01-20T00:34:16.755-08:002010-01-20T00:34:16.755-08:00This is the first post I have disagreed with your ...This is the first post I have disagreed with your analysis Mr Barnes. The benefits system is too generous and is being sucked dry not by the genuinely vulnerable but by people who are actually well enough to work. Just ask around and you'll learn about many people who use the slightest pain to claim disability benefit, which means bumper benefits for their family, and they can also work up to 16 hours a week and top up their claim with a whole range of benefits. This is not fair. Welfare is a disincentive to work Lord Pearson is correct. Flat tax is good and benefits everyone including the working class people who won't pay any tax on ther first 10k they earn and also they will have more jobs on offer since the job-providers are not squeezed as much they have more to invest in creating jobs.David Tnoreply@blogger.com
