You want the poor to have more money? Well, doh! Splash the cash

Why can't benefit claimants work for the government?

If the government is handing out cash to people who are not in work, why can't it get something in return?

I mean if you are not working, but are able to, why can't you do some work in your community?

There are many manual jobs that need doing that are not done in my village because the council doesn't have the budget, yet we have quite a lot of people on benefits...

If your working and have work related benefits, that is fine, you are contributing to society

If your not working but could work, then your a drain on society!

Picking up litter, cutting the grass, cleaning signs, sweeping the pavements, even running a club of some kind (i.e. a tennis club, football, rugby, cricket, etc...) So many ways to give back to the community if it was managed and most importantly seen as a good thing!
