'Economic Violence'
What a crock of shite- even coming from someone reknowned for verbal diarrhea!
News flash - WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE 'POOR'!
Of course, much depends on your definition of 'poor'. I have seen very few cases of starvation hanging around WINZ or the courts, of late. When lack of playstations, computers and internet access come into the equation, I take the measurement of poverty with a very large grain of salt.
There can be no doubt that there is hardship with children. They pay the price for their scumbag parents choices- widescreen tv's and booze & fags ahead of book, good food and warm clothes. THEY and they alone get my sympathy. They would be better off in an orphanage than being used as a meal ticket. Even the well- documented sadism of the nuns pales into insignificance when compared to life in some of the squalid, drug-infested cesspits these dregs live in.
Now, if everybody in this country was given a house, a car and $100k in the bank plus a job -within a year the status quo would have reasserted itself. Most of the lower class (if we have a middle class, we must have a lower class too!) would have no home and be broke. They would be after a handout and crying that 'the system' did them out of what was theirs.
Such is life.
To suggest that by not throwing more money into the equivilent of a black hole, we are commiting an act of violence on the 'poor' is the product of a twisted mind and disgusts me!

Part of the problem is that not too long ago, the stupid, incompetent and violent either starved, had accidents (a few still do) or were executed. It meant they couldn't breed or be parents.
Now the intelligent, competent and peaceful pay for them to breed. Plenty of people get out of the underclass and improve, but a hardcore are fundamentally a waste of space.
Disregarding those who don't manage their benefit or those who cheat the system, for all the others the benefit pays for the essentials, food, power, rent, phone, petrol but then there's nothing left. A flippin parking fine, threatened penalties and you have to get the phone disconnected to pay for it. LIFE ON THE BENEFIT IS MISERABLE - the DPB isn't a safety net, it's a trap - many people haven't got a shit show in hell of supporting a couple of kids, running a house and holding down a job.
It would be better if the state paid some people not to have kids.
I'm poor--can't afford to fill the tank of the V8 more than once a week.
Must rush off and find some kiddies to beat up.
