CruelCoin wrote: » The issue for me is the dead loss. Google "Economic dead loss to taxation" Essentially when you apply a tax, the revenue generated is always less than the economic activity lost due to the tax. The difference is the dead-loss that has vanished from the economy. To give this payment, taxation needs to be higher than it would otherwise need to be.

I would love to get back working but for the foreseeable future that won’t happen. I have a neighbor who never worked a day in his life nothing wrong with him just lazy and the same for his missus. There house is paid for where as I struggle to pay a mortgage and struggling to keep a 15 year old car on the road. Yet he is swanning around in 2016 Mondeo. They both can afford to go to pub twice a week where I haven’t been out in months. So I can see people’s frustration with certain people getting it but tar all people who receive social welfare with the same brush.

The Economic and Social Research Institute estimates that an unemployment rate of 5 per cent is almost equivalent to full employment in the Republic.

Ellianna Mushy Body wrote: » This. I have no issue with the payment as such. Its just that people on jobseekers allowance (longterm dole) get it. People who lost their jobs and were paying tax and are on jobseekers benefit while they look for a new job don't get it. That just isn't fair, they were tax payers, with their taxes going towards funding some of that money. They should get it too.
