Rejected petition Reduce Benefits to Below Minimum Wage
More details
Where is the incentive for benefit scroungers to find work?? They need to be given less so if they get a minimum wage job it equates to more than the benefits they receive.
Someone working minimum wage gets less than what someone on benefits gets after you take into consideration all the added benefits of being on benefits like reduced council tax, rent, free prescriptions ect ect.
Reduce benefits to less than minimum wage.
Why should scroungers get more than hard workers for free????
