Rubbish, the benefit system is not universal unlike the NHS and if you can afford to pay then you should pay and if you have tax advisers and thus not paying your fair share even more so
I accept that not all benefits are universal, but some are.... including state paying for the transportation of children to their school if the distance if greater than 3 miles or the child has disabilities that mean additional assistance is necessary. ie The specific case being debated
And are you actually advocating that no-one who can afford to pay themselves is allowed any state funded benefit?
Next time I'm out at night I will wear dark glasses because god forbid I use the light from state funded street lights when I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to buy my own torch!
