Comment on People deemed unable to work ‘face having benefits reduced under DWP plan’
FatLegTed@feddit.uk 1 year agoAnd yet people who are perfectly capable of working are getting benefits.
The system needs changing from top to bottom.
It’s disgraceful that people who need help don’t get it yet others game the system for profit.

By design. By keeping grift alive, they create a permanent underclass they can always point to and say “Look at those moochers leeching off you!”, which is true, but only designed to keep our attention off the millions upon millions the people in power redistribute to themselves and their cronies.
The rot starts at the top.

Yeah when I hear people complaining about those living off the Welfare State I always go off on a mad one about the Amazon Distribution Centre that had local authorities fighting each other to have it in their area. To the point where the winning local authority built a road specifically for the Distribution Centre, and to rub salt into the wound, named it Amazon Way.
Amazon are quite happy to take Taxpayer Money but when it becomes time to pay Tax they’re based in a tax haven
Everyone up in arms about Welfare but don’t give a fuck about Corporate Welfare.

And that’s not even saying anything about the many, many times that government “incompetence” awarded the contract for the delivery of some goods/service to a tiny company that had only been established in the days/weeks prior by some relation to someone who made the decision about the spending.
The state, in the current design, is basically just a series of smoke and mirrors designed exclusively to steal from us and thank them for it.
