Britain’s Welfare State: The Model of Unsustainability
Written By : Dave Blount

Moonbats like to use the word “unsustainable.” How’s this for unsustainable?

A jobless couple rake in £95,000 in state benefits a year — and even have breakfast delivered to the door each morning, courtesy of the taxpayer.

The money — five times the starting salary of a teacher — goes to unemployed Pete and Sam Smith and their ten children, who live in a rentfree four-bedroom house.

After trashing their last house, the Smiths were moved to a large £1,000-week house last month. The new accommodations do not meet with their requirements:

Mrs Smith, 36, complained that the house was too small, the breakfast portions too stingy and said she could afford to buy her brood only one Nintendo Wii games console between them.

She claims she is also forced to pay £100 a week to keep her five cats in a cattery.

‘It’s very cramped here,’ she told the News of the World. ‘We’ve been told we might not be given a new house for another nine months, which is ridiculous.

‘The breakfast supplied by the council isn’t like proper hot food. It’s usually eggs, beans, tinned tomatoes and cereal, which isn’t really enough for us all and we have to heat it up ourselves.’

The Smiths haven’t worked since the mister resigned from the Army in 2001. Why would they? In a country run by progressives, not working is far more remunerative.

The total with child benefits is £44,954. They then receive a £950-aweek bed-and-breakfast deal where the council pays for breakfasts delivered to their home, which comes to £49,400 — a total of £94,354 a year.

In exchange, taxpayers don’t even get gratitude. Welfare parasites are like Muslims, race grievance mongers, and other opportunists who thrive under liberalism — the more you give them, the more strident their indignant demands.

    They have made the logical choice: when rewarded equally for doing no work as you would for getting a job it makes no sense to get a job. When rewarded even more for doing nothing than you would be for working then it would be insane to look for work.

    They are parasites it's true, but they are merely following the incentives offered to them by the deranged voters of Britania.

    That's exactly right. That's unsustainable is leftist economics.

    Back in the days I worked as a psychologist, one of my least favourite parts of the job was dragging my mentally ill patients down to Social Services to sign up for food and housing benefits. I never could decide which was worse – the bureaucratic indifference of the caseworkers or the demanding attitudes of the “clients” it was always somewhat like this story portrays.

    Eventually I decided that they were both equally repulsive and should be avoided.

    Uh-huh, they're no different than the welfare flunkies in the US, most of the time they trash and destroy what's handed to them and then they demand more!!

    They act and behave like rodents, existing and reproducing while fouling their nest, and they've been conditioned to think and behave that way by the liberals!! I distinctly remember my Grandparents telling me about the day when it was considered a disgrace to be on the public dole!!
