An amazing thought

Whilst working out my finances and the benefits we are entitled to I suddenly had this very strange point come into my mind.

For the tax that the top premier League Footballers pay per week. we probably live off that in a year.

So maybe next time we call footballer and the money they get. should we be saying thank you ;)

    This needs to be in Discussion Time.

    Want to discuss the benefits system? Go to the discussion board

    If you want to discuss the benefits system itself and issues around it, the appropriate place isn't here but the Discussion Board and even there, please remember courtesy and not to make it personal about anyone. This site's prime purpose it to help people with their money and I will always act to protect that.
    Gone ... or have I?
