| Message | This is child benefit. You make it sound like it goes into the childs bank account! Be serious. All the money you give out from this will go directly into the parents hands, not that we dont agree with that, but what we do not agree with is poor people having babies purely so they can claim child benefit and live of the state! How exactly does this help population control? Something that your party wants! Might aswell just give the poor free money and save the population at the same time! |
