It is quite simple.
For a start there is no snobbery here as suggested, I know many working class people who depise scum like this.
Gordon has chose working class credits as the vehicle (crap though it is) to deliver to working people so use this to reward.
Those who work should get a benefit related to the amoutn they put in. The lowest amount clearly should be enough to sustain you, this does not include TV's video,DVD, fags, boooze etc. Benefiits should be paid in tokens/vouchers so it cannot be spent on rubbish. I am sure a deal could be met with retailers for this. You should not be rewarded for sprogging but for effort and working..
The HRA and this lefty Government have alot to answer for.
