    This has the be the stupidest, most ignorant, laziest, most confidently incorrect, economically illiterate website in the world.

    How is the office of national statistics okay as a source for such an outlandish claim, that I’m chatting shit about?

    https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/theeffectsoftaxesandbenefitsonhouseholdincome/financialyearending2022

    “The proportion of people living in households receiving more in benefits than they paid in taxes decreased from 55.0% to 53.8% in FYE 2022”

    Fuck me it’s tiring coming on here and trying to talk to people. Why are people so confident and things they know fuck all about? People need to learn how stupid they are about the economy, it’s mind blowing that people don’t even know!

      OK, so you are technically correct. Hey, important referendums have been decided on smaller margins than 53.8%!

      So do you just hate the benefit-scrounging bogeymen, or do you think that helping people isn’t the government’s job?

        I’m not technically correct, I’m just simply correct. I said what I said and was right about it, even though you couldn’t see that.

        No, the governments main job is to look after the people. How they do that is obviously difficult.
