The OP family and ancestors have been paying taxes for hundreds and hundreds of years.

They payed them in the misguided belief that the government/system would look after them and there family.

Instead the government is attacking the young, sick, elderly and disabled and forcing them to work to pay more taxes!

Entitlement!!!?

If our system was fair there would be no rich elite! and all food, energy housing would be paid for by the state. or at least the wealth spread evenly.

we live in a world of plenty. yet some at the top are too greedy.

THIS is why we have poor people and a population of people who will never do ANYTHING other than work and pay taxes then die.

Would you care to elaborate how this would work?,

sorry ive only just managed to come back on - my daughter is doing a second degree and thus doesnt qualify for student funding. She was advised to sign on for jsa and as her course is only a few hours she was allowed to do so, everything is above board. When first applying for jsa they ask what type of work you are available for and she ticked the 'part time' work and gave her doing a degree as the reason why, so, there must be stipulations for this type of thing otherwise it wouldnt be on the form.

Ok, maybe she should join the real world and stop having fancy ideas of bettering/educating herself so she can get to the top of her field. Her ultimate goal is to work as an art curator, hence, the dedication she has put in to gaining her qualifications. She is a very hardworking person and when not studying she gives her time freely to do voluntary work for a cause close to her heart.

Most of the degree is paid off as she was wise enough to save from her student loan funds she received over the years for her other qualifications. She lives a frugal lifestyle and doesnt drink or smoke, the only expenses she really has are her day to day needs we all have, but, as she lives at home we (her parents) cover these for her.

I just feel that its always the wrong ones that are sanctioned and the 'cant be bothered/got a drink,drugs problem/immigrants' who are left alone and never brought up short on anything. She is bettering herself to put herself in a top position and thus benefit the country, which is more than can be said for many others, yet, she is the one being brought to book and made to do something she isnt qualified for.

All credit to her for trying to improve her lot in life ............however she shouldnt expect to do this on other peoples money

So OP's daughter has to take a job or sign off. Seems fair enought to me.

Plenty of people do masters degrees part-time while working and their lives aren't ruined. So it may take a little longer than anticipated. And? Rein in the melodrama OP.

jimmywx11 - I'm a little sad your polemic has such a limited audience. have you thought about Speakers' Corner?

Yes and also many other places... don't worry. i will not stop till i bring peace to this country.

To the people attacking a man trying to bring peace and happiness to all.... question why!

Although people should know that every forum on the net has paid shills to disrupt it....

Perhaps a combative and accusatory stance is not the most effective tactic to bring about peace. More Gandhi less Kim Jong-un.

some people need to be shook awake. some you can reason with but not many.

most depend on the system so much that they will fight to protect that which is hurting them.

When trying to make a serious social change, you might want to adopt a language that sounds less mental.
People don't take melodrama from herbalists, they accept empirical evidence from true analysts

Capitalism doesn't work very well either, unless you are in the top 5%.

Let's not insult the 'mental'. Some of us are geniuses.
