The only time when I am suggesting that they shouldn’t get paid any benefits is if they *turn down* a job. And if they know that that is the case when they turn the job down, that is their own choice.

When they *can* work, they shouldn’t get paid money that is supposed to be earmarked for those who *can’t*.

I really can’t understand why the concept of not letting people just live off the state rather than getting a job upsets so many people.

Sorry but leaving people to starve or steal is beyond the pale as far as I’m concerned.
