Its just that they arnt educated enough or are to old to get highly paid jobs.
I know Cigs, I'm only generalising and I'm sure there are plenty of hard-working people out there who's jobs have been pulled from under their feet by cheap foreign labour which is wrong but we (like it or loathe it) live in a global economy these days so unfortunately have to roll with the punches and learn to adapt. In an ideal world everybody would work and be happy with their lifestyle but unfortunately life's not that easy. I have no axe to grind with people who have no option other than to work AND claim benefits on the sly (I'd do the same in their position) but at least those people are trying their best. It's people who have no intention whatsoever of working who sit back and happily watch me work all the hours that god sends and hardly ever see my daughter and lose half my income to the taxman that get my back up. Why should I work my tits off so they can sit on their a*se all day?
