Blaming the welfare system for...Oh come on Lindsay<br /><br /><i>Blaming the welfare system for the current existence of poverty</i><br /><br />It is absolutely like blaming the welfare system for the existence of poverty <b>because the welfare system is to blame</b>.<br /><br />Simply stopping welfare - finish Ruth's job, stop all the benefits - and removing the ancillary regulations (unions, and the minimum wage) and <b>NZ would have full employment overnight</b><br /><br />this is basic economics 101. Anyone who disagrees with this should be treated in the same way as anyone who argues that the moon is made of green cheese.<br /><br /><i> is like seeing the incidence of Third World diseases in this country, and blaming it on the existence of hospitals.<br /></i><br /><br /><b>No it's not!!</b> Crucially it is like <i>see in the Third World incidence of diseases in this country, and blaming it on the existence of <b>public hospitals</b></i><br /><br />Once again, if the public hospital & GP system was stopped overnight, Kiwis would actually have to care about their health, care about their families, take responsibility for themselves.<br /><br />And yes, that would end NZ's Third-World status.<br /><br />Again: absolutely basic ECON 101.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
