[the truth]

the argument for keeping them

millions of low paying jobs means you need tax credits to top up the low wages to earn a living wage, it acts as in incentive and a bridge to get off benefits and into work.,,,,if youre offered a job only earning say £200 a week, people wont risk coming off benefits to earn £200 a week. so they stay on benefits with housing benefits

the argument against keeping them

4 billion of tax payers money , we allegedly need to cut back these payments to pay off our trillion pound public debts...this 4 billion will reduce our debts and the interest on our debts. but who is this money owed to?
the fact is more people are being kicked off benefits and will have to work to survive....3000+ who were recently taken off incapacity have died within weeks and this ditn make the bbc headlines?

ive often wondered what happens to long term unemployed in other countries and in America?

the tories claim the rise in living wage and the fall in tax credits and benefits, will raise people out of poverty put more money in peoples pockets and grow the economy.

how do you see this argeument? for or against?
