Description[?]:
| Madame Deputy Speaker, We believe that we must live within our means, we must be happy with what we have and accept that if we want to succeed we must work harder, study harder or try to improve our lives ourselves. This bill proposes not that we abandoned the port in our society, not that we leave them to die, but this bill proposes that we inspire our citizens out of poverty and help them flourish like the rich and successful in our society. We believe that handing out the benefits we do currently is allowing families to feel like they don't need to work our sturdy and can just laze around receiving benefits. Now of course I don't believe that everyone who recorded benefits is like this I don't believe that at all. But we believe that if we make these changes those who are currently receiving benefits for whom it is possible to will work harder and try to gain more fulfillment in their lives and I believe that this will improve the financial state of our nation and many many families across it. Thank You David Reeves Leader of The LCP |
