Limiting Benefits to 3 children, any thoughts ? Options

[andy1979uk]

David C proposes a beenfit cap to three children, to discourage having more children that you can afford. Does this seem fair to everyone ?

Although I agree there are some lazy little blighters out there, there are more older ones. The fact is the younger generation get written off too easily to make the life of their parents, teachers etc easier. They will have to work longer, get paid less, unlikely to get onto the property ladder like the previous generations could could so easily. They won't get a state pension or pension credits when they get old. They'll have to foot the bill for the economic and environment disasters that previous generations have caused through it's greed. With a future like this who could blame someone for not wanting to get up in the morning.

Maybe you get out of a conversation what you expect. So if you didn't talk to every young person with contempt then you'd be very much mistaken.

Possibly, there is a noticeable attitude though that it is the norm for everyone to be given handouts, after all they work part time and pay NI why should'nt they be given it back ten fold?
