I dont know your background and i wont presume to guess it..

However, you are speaking like one of the liberal middle class, someone that has had a relatively comfortable (financially) upbringing. I had to scrap my way up from a rough area and poor family background. How dare you decide that I should now have all that I have worked for and built taxed away from me towards others. others in in soime cases cant be arsed and have chosen the lifestyle choice of benefits. How can it be right we even have that lifestyle choice of benefits as an option?

i have a single parent, ive never considerd myself or my family well-off, i worked hard at school, didnt do great though (partly as i have learning difficulties, but i guess in your world thoose dont exist) as i panic and get stressed out in exams. by the way, the last time i went on holiday was in 2006, because my granparents paid for me to come visit them, my mum couldnt have afforded to let me go, i also have debt from going to uni, which i had to drop out of because i was unwell and didnt enjoy the course at all, my mum dosent claim benefits, im currently doing voulantry work, because getting a paid job is very hard for me at the moment, so in order to pay my mum rent, so she can pay the bills, i have to get jobseekers allowance, i want to be either a jounralist or a politician, so im doing a course in september, paid for probaby by more debt, same with going back to uni, even if im succsesfull, ill be paying off the debt for a while and may never be particularly welthy, but hey its what i want to do, and i at least have a basic standard of living.

AGAIN, I NEVER SAID THAT, I ASKED WHY YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE PAID MORE AND WHY YOU SHOULDNT PAY MORE IN TAX TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE.
