| Message | Is there any point to anyone trying to work in this Country? If your low-income you get: free housing, transport, money for children or if they can't get a job, or if it doesn't pay well. There is no incentive to work harder, or even try, its all already given to you on a platter. This will cost the government millions, money we aren't getting back because no-one will be on high enough wages to pay for it, either through tax or actually paying for the service. |

| Message | Firstly, unemployment isn't just a choice - if we punish the unemployed we also punish those who through no fault of their own. Also, I wouldn't say that people wont work simply because they can feed their children and catch the bus for free. |
