Should there be a benefits system?
![Page 13: Social Issues in the UK Health and Wealth Inequalities National Qualifications](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681332e550346895d9a2ced/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Should there be a benefits system?
YES NO•A democratic society should look after the poorest and weakest in society•Having no benefit system would lead to an increase in crime as poor people need to get money somehow•Some people deserve help – the disabled, lone parents, unemployed etc.•Anyone can face difficulties such as becoming unemployed or developing a health problem and so they should be entitled to help•The government should be responsible for creating jobs and helping people get jobs•Children should not suffer because of their parents’ mistakes•The system creates equality
•Why should people that work have to pay for people that don’t?•Why should people have to pay for drug addicts, alcoholics etc. to get benefits when they choose to become addicts?•People on benefits are “laughing at” people who go to work•People should take responsibility for their own actions – not look to the government for everything•The system costs too much - taxes would be better spent on other things like improving education and healthcare•People cheat the benefit system by working and claiming benefits•The benefits system encourages people to be lazy
