Scrap the dole, grants and SW? Serious.

Fukuyama

Some of my friends claim they need the college grant because they can't afford the fees without it. Said friends have iPhones, top-of-the-line laptops, iPads and go out twice a week.

Same goes for others on SW. Was in the post office the other day. The lady in front of my was signing on had a smartphone.

I pay my own way and work a part-time job, as well as do a whole plethora of other smaller online businesses for extra income and I end up paying tax like it was a running tap. I've been told I'm not entitled to a grant this year. I was expecting it so saved the past few months to pay the college in January.

I feel like SW is subsiding peoples lifestyles rather than giving them a helping hand back up. Meanwhile those of us still in jobs or stoking a few entrepreneurial embers are getting shafted.

If I had a choice tomorrow between ditching all SW, grants etc and keeping bare minimum welfare for disabled etc and being unable to claim in the future... and not having to pay so much USC and tax, or keeping things the way they are I think I'd just scrap the lot!

What think ye?

I agree, people on SW should suffer more than they do now.

Enough of the dole bashing threads.
