Petition Should benefits be cut to equal the minimum wage?
More details
Working people are sick of hearing stories that the unemployed get paid more on benefit payments than working people.
This is no incentive to the unemployed to work. So lets change the mindset of the country and reduce benefits payments to the unemployed to be either set at or just below the minimum wage.
Why should an unemployed couple with one child get a free two bedroom house and get £1200 per month in benefit payments??? This is more than the minimum wage and totally unfair.
