A lot has been written on how the Government wants to cut down on benefit fraud.

This is all well and good but before that happens we have to get away from the culture whereby some people expect the state to provide for them from cradle to grave.

The state should look at the amount it pays in benefits to ensure it does not exceed what would be the minimum wage of someone in full time work.

Perhaps then we might see people looking for employment to get out of the poverty trap.
