Is it time to quit the Job?

[DrKildamore]

After this joke of a budget, is it time for some people to quit their jobs and go on the dole?

Surely for a family of four on minimum wage its worth while.

And for anyone spending a fortune travelling to work such as those in rural areas the rise in petrol may force them to consider this option!

[dandyspencer]

Well after yesterday`s fiasco of a budget I did some number crunching and discovered I would actually be better off on the dole.

So today I got myself sacked and went to the dole office and signed on.

Whilst offically Im not better off, when you take into consideration the money I spend on petrol, Parking, daily meals, and the general hassle of sitting in traffic I am financially better off.

I even now able to obtain a medical card for each person in my family and more importantly I will enjoy quality time with each of them.

So I think i will sit the storm out for a few years and return to work when the government of this country make it worth my while.

I really wouldn't be too envious. Dr Kildamore and dandyspencer are just one person, aka feenxp, an immigrant from Boston, Lincolnshire, signing on in Ireland.

Do any of you work full time and make less than 200 a week?

If they answer is no then your not better off on the dole

The real parasites in society are the capitalists, property developers, speculators and corporations.

And not those who are able to work, but unwilling to do so?

So glad we covered that topic. I'm now going to stop giving Sean Quinn a weekly payment and instead give it to some lazy *************************.
