  • Maybe you didnt call them morons for working for minimum wage but you did called them morons for claiming what benefits they could get, the working tax benefit was brought it to help those who are fully prepared to work, its there for these people and there is no shame in claiming something you are fully entitled to.

    If someone is prepared to work for minimum wage instead of laying around the house all day claiming JSA, then they have every right to claim what they need to support their families, its does not make them morons.

    or thieves when they are knowingly, and have done for a number of years, claiming for benefits they shouldn't be?
    Cant win really, people get called scroungers for having to claim benefits, and morons for taking what ever work they can, even at minimum wage, its such a shame we cant all be high flyers and earn massive amounts.
    When your life is a mess, stop and think what you are doing before bringing more kids into it, it's not fair on them.
