Does living on benefits scare you?

The benefits system is far too generous in England. It is bringing the country down.
It does not pay to go out to work.

In Spain by contrast there is no benefit system. People work. Family orientated.

I was brought up in the slums of England, lived off second hand clothes, my mother cleaned floors. Agricultural work was back-aching, when it was there. Yet we got by and were not unhappy. Family orientated, we all chipped in. Did not care that people were financially better off, that did not bring happiness.
