Want to earn a bit on the side? No worries. No inspectors. No <i>faux</i> Daily Mail frothing. No money wasted on flatulent "benefit fraud" adverts. Well done for doing a little bit to get your life back on track.<br /><br />And nobody is trapped on benefits.<br /><br />Want to get a real job and sock up your benefits for a rainy day? Good for you. <br /><br />It's not hugely complex to develop a reliable, reasonably secure system that does nothing but put £X per month in your account if you're under 16 and £2X in your account if you're over 16.<br /><br />Scrap all the benefits and allowances and give people a (very) basic guaranteed income. Even if you wind up spending the same amount of money on the benefits themselves, you save massively by slashing the apparatchiks and apparatus needed to run the system.Obnoxio The Clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012089552153702526noreply@blogger.com
