the more i learn about this country the more i feel like destroying it.
my step dad is getting paid £8000 (tax free) over the next 12 months as a bribe to make him go back to work. thats over £150 a week.
he's been on the sick for a few years, but now that he's been offered so much money he cant afford to stay on the sick.
so he's got himself a 16 hours per week job and gets paid all that bribe cash on top of his wages. but the bribe works because he has returned to work.
i guess £8k this year is cheaper for the state in the long run than another decade on the sick. but what happens if he goes back on the sick when the year is up?
i still think my solution is better. pay nothing, then they have to go to work to survive. obviously some people cant work and should be supported, but i'm willing to bet my right arm that more than half the people on long term sick leave are just taking advantage of a soft system.
i wouldnt care but its a soft system that i'm supporting with my wages, and i feel like i'm constantly punished for working hard and contributing to soceity. the lazy get rewarded and its killing my motivation, i can almost empathize with the lazy gits.
