Which brings us back round to why it would be dishonest or what have you to exploit (another loaded choice of words) a service that you have claim to as a citizen. Seems to me, that in the case of a person having children (ostensibly for the purpose of being moved up to better accommodations- not sure how we'd make a charge like that stick btw, and it's not really how it works here anyway) has to be pretty honest about at least how many children they have.
Without our little brood Miss and I wouldn't qualify for a dime. With 4 we qualify for a few more dimes (but the tax breaks are where it really shows). We didn't have our kids to get an increase in benefits, but every kid we had increased them nevertheless. Whats to stop someone inclined to do so from claiming that we had our children to game the system? Suppose the person making that claim was the issuing body (of our benefits). How are we to defend ourselves against a charge of intent, and how are they to make their case in the first place?
In light of this what exactly, can you, Tibs, say about welfare queens that I wouldn't immediately dismiss, as Apo above, as ideology?
