Wider debate about
Welfare!
One dictionary version of the word on the lips of our
government, welfare, a governmental
agency that provides funds and aid to people in need, especially those unable
to work. So welfare seems to be about distributing money to those in need (not
unlike being a parent) and today that focus for the government is the under 25
year olds on housing benefit. Some we are told have become used to getting hand-outs that are taken for granted and
not deserved. (Like me when I was a child)
So here is what I am pondering what if we move those
responsible for Tax Breaks into the same Department of Welfare hopefully in
bringing the two departments together we will discover some synergy (cost
savings) redundancy (eventually seeking housing benefit). It seems to my narrow
uneducated way of looking at life both departments share the same definitions
of Welfare as some of the definitions and language are similar. The role of
both departments is to identify needy people and distribute money to them that
they have not worked for or don’t deserve. Those looking for tax efficient
lifestyles and those looking for some where to live seem to have a lot in
common from a combined welfare and tax return department. One set of people are
required to jump through a set of hoops, be interviewed by the department in
question and may have the welfare withdrawn at some point because they don’t
need it. The other set of people covered by the new shared department are
contacted by Mr slick 3% have a meeting in an expensive hotel where they are
invited to join a scheme where at some point in the future the same shared
department advised by Mr slick 3% will distribute money to those who don’t work
money they don’t need or earn. But there is a flaw in my pondering, at some
point in the future the two the two sets of welfare people might get mixed up.
Those looking for housing benefit might get distributed to them large
undeserved tax breaks. And those who Mr Slick 3% is working on behalf of might
get some housing benefit. But I am hopeful that those putting together the new
combined system will find a way of not getting the people mixed up, the last
thing the country needs is irresponsible people wondering around with large
amounts of unearned underserved cash wasting it on things they don’t need. We
might end up with an economy in growth but that’s another department problem,
isn’t it?
