Thinking that a family with a net income of 90k+ shouldn't be recieving any public money as cash payouts is not due to ignorance of what benefits are. Social assistance is for those in need, not for everyone.

Precisely. I'd love to be able to turn around and cancel the payments but the reality is that the cost of living has far out-stripped the rate at which wages went up. Until very, very recently I was on the same money I was earning 5 years ago.

And if it grinds your gears that the wealthy are entitled to these benefits, what if I told you I know of somoene who owns their own house which they rent out privately (circa £850 a month) yet they themselves live in social housing subsidised by the government?

Aaaargh!
