*and thats just for people on the average industrial wage the drop is steeper for those making more than that.

No I havent applied for these benifits - I work therefore I pay for them. I know a 40 year old widow who is collecting the Widows pension - why cant she find a job? (She has been widowed for 6 years now - get over it). I know a women who has a 10 year old and has been collecting for the past 10 years - I have a kid and work - I dont need the handout and my kid hasnt robbed a bank or beat an old lady up. As far as this Child allowance craic - use the money to clean up the hospitals - the government should make anyone who wants to collect payments go do xhours of volunteer work.
