Social Welfare cuts

[lordjohn]

Here is my view.

1. Surely we should be encouraging people to come off social welfare. Therefore, should we not set the rate so that people will take a job rather than being on welfare. I am all for helping to manage the transition but it is wrong to allow people to sit at home and spend our money if there is any job available for them?

Where are the jobs to give these ppl ?

3. If a private sector worker wanted to have a pension of the value of that of the public sector they would have to contribute 60%of their NET income after tax. This is a fact.

Is that really a fact ? 60% wow . What is the source of this fact ?

We need to apply private sector rules to the public sector as they are paid by us, the private sector through our tax revenue.

It may surprise you to know that Public servants pay tax as well. So a lot of the public service is self financing.
In fact a public servant on €35000 pays more tax than Denis O'Brien who pays zero tax.
Lets get things straight, neither Public or Private workers caused the mess we are in at the moment.
While the ruling classes are breaking their bollox laughing at this Public/Private squabble.
