The worse the benefits systems gets the higher the crime rate will go up, ask any semi intelligent American.
Off hand,I don't know any,and most of the ones I see on the telly at the political rallies appear to be stark staring bonkers!

The simply fact is he is a Tory. Tories will always seek to cut public spending wherever they can and give that back to the haves in the form of tax cuts. The rich WILL get richer and the poor WILL get poorer under a Tory government. Heartless bastards the lot of 'em.
In line with the devoted followers of science on this board - the above is a FACT and anyone who doesn't agree with me is at best an idiot or, to be more precise, a deluded wanker.
Disclaimer : The fact that we don't technically have a Tory government but a coalition between them and the Liberal Democrats does not affect the validity of the above statement as the Liberal Democrats are toothless dirty sell outs who will go along with anything just to get a seat at the top table.
I do ! (and that doesn't include my ex wife). Fact, they have the highest number of people behind bars (per capita) of any country in the world. They have near useless and underfunded Welfare and Health systems and yet their politicians have no qualms about paying astronomic amounts electing people at all levels. People commit crime just to survive. The reason ? Americans hate paying taxes.
I said they were bonkers!
Secondly, this seems again a rather arbitrary way of defining poverty - nothing to do with need or the ability to subsist but all based upon incomes. Is this a decent (or accurate) way of measuring true poverty?
The cap is far too low for people in the South East of England but too high for the North East and that's where the issue arises.
... What also annoyed me about this charity is the amount of money they spent on IT. Few banks have kit as good as theirs, disgraceful organization.
Blimey, do they run multiple geographically dispersed parallel sysplexes, with zBX ensembles?
My wife has just retired from being a Head Teacher in Bognor and has told me that the education system is now encountering a load of third generation benefit claimants so yes lifestyle choice it clearly is - you may not like the truth but it is f***ing well out there...
Still no doubt it is all the Tories fault....
So, over a million people have made a "lifestyle" choice to live in poverty in the last couple of years ? I've read some drivel on here but that takes the biscuit.
Since when has living off benefits been anywhere near being described as poverty? ever been to Africa?
I am not aware of any person claiming benefits that does not have a roof over their hears or has ever gone hungry, would love to here your definition of poverty.
Many benefits claimants who's sole income is from the government have a far better standard of life that a lot of people on minimum wage.
Unfortunately claiming benefits is a viable "lifestyle" choice and has been for many years, did you not realise this?
Absolute shite. Try living on benefits for a while and then tell us what a great "lifestyle" it is.
I have distant relatives that live on benefits and can assure you they have a very good standard or living plus more & better holidays than i could afford.
Also said relatives have no working skills so it not like their scamming the system by working as well.
Have had many conversation with about it and he adamant he could never dream of earning the amount he receives in hand outs.
