Of course soon when the economy colloapses those who sit around and live off the rest of us will be better off. Children are seen now by many as an income.
What do we do when the difference between working for 30 K a year and living off the state (getting free house, council tax paid etc) amounts to not a lot. I don't think we are far off that now.

I think you are right about it being"average earnings" - mistake min wage. Therefore we will always have poverty within our current system, and it allows the state (communist Labour) to continue with its redistribution adgenda.
