This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition financial aid for working people
More details
People in employment are struggling to make a living.
The reason for this is that there is not enough financial aid available for people in employment.
At the same time the government is spending billions of pounds supporting people who don't work (and most of the time don't want to work).
I ran a few benefits calculations and it turns out that the average worker would be better off quitting their job and living off benefits than making an honest living.
This should not be! Make more benefits available for working people.
