I have no problem with the concept of giving benefits only to the worthy.Perhaps it should be extended to include all forms of handout.It's time that the world moved away from universal 'cradle-to-grave' featherbedding.
Let's start denying free hospital care to drunk drivers.
Lets stop paying government superannuation to those who have funds of there own,and those who have not spent their money wisely.
Let's stop paying benefits to those who have spent most of their working life in jail.
Let's stop paying for fathers who abandon their kids when the going gets tough.
Let's stop subsidising alleged artists to produce ugly pieces of 'public art' that the man in the street would rather not own.
Let's stop gifting money to minorities to make television programmes that provide nothing more than a sense of self-validation to their makers.
Let's stop paying wages to prison inmates.They're there to be punished,make them cook for their own kind and launder their own clothes for nothing.
And lets give a bit more to those who have NO food,NO water,NO shelter and NOmedical care through NO fault of their own.
