| Message | My reasons APU 1: Maily through fairness and an attempt to keep families from needing article 2 by supporting any family with a child. 2: This means the government can control what the money is being spent on as anyone with benefits could do the stereotype and spend it on alcohol and drugs... This however ensures that it is being used to give a guaranteed standard of living 3: Again on the fairness. Everyone has the same no one can complain. Also this ensures that on retirement all people wil be able to live in a standard or good way. |
