It's quite a simple strategy: Make the populace financially dependent and they will have no choice but to keep voting them in. <BR/>Working For Families is another example. Money for nothing. <BR/>Instead of making people help themselves this current government keeps them reliant.<BR/>Once again, the hard-working taxpayer gets booted to the bottom of the food chain, while the govt helps themselves to our piggy banks.<BR/><BR/>Spam, the reason there is a lack of medicinal staff is BECAUSE of the lack of funding.<BR/>Sometimes I wish I were a beneficiary. Then I could get cheap doctors visits, subsidised childcare, and know that if my house burnt to the ground Mr and Mrs Working Class would foot the bill to put me in a new, furnished home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-71849735313346203072007-08-20T14:15:00.000+12:002007-08-20T14:15:00.000+12:00The Ministry of Social Development says fast-track...<I>The Ministry of Social Development says fast-tracking procedures for beneficiaries should not push others off hospital waiting lists because funding is separate.</I><BR/><BR/>So are we supposed to believe that the reason that there are waiting lists is ONLY lack of funding? Nothing to do with lack of doctors, nurses etc?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
