• The post you are reporting:
   
  Some people it seems do not know what facts are.
  
  Alexander - your understanding of what economics is, is as good as my understanding of brain surgery. Zero.
  
  If benefits and handouts are the answer then you are asking the wrong question.
  
  It seems that some people just think in only the most immediate and basic terms. That is pretty typical of the 'left'' and those who think government is the answer whereas government and politicians are the problem.
  
  I start from the point that we would all be better off if we had a competitive and sustainable economy. You need only to look at international and historic comparisons to see the evidence. Governments trying to circumvent all this ultimately damage the economy and reduce the overall levels of wealth with less to go around. In this process you end up locking those on low incomes into just that rather than open up their opportunities.
  
  Alexander if you really want to have an intelligent discussion then you need to find out more about the subject. Otherwise we end up going around and around in pointless circles. I recommended some reading to you - read it and educate yourself. Start with Hayek's The Road to Serfdom and educate yourself.
