Rejected petition REDUCE BENEFITS SO HAVING KIDS CANNOT BE A CAREER AND A WAY OF AVOIDING WORK AND CONTRIBUTING TO SOCIETY

More details

The govt should stop paying child related benefits ( child benefit/ tax credits/income support etc) for any child after the 3rd. Then we can do something about reducing the over population, stop the benefit class from having a child just to avoid having to get a job. We need to stop families having multiple children and earning more in benefits than hard working people . It would cut the pressure on social services in dealing with neglected children as a result of overcrowded households . IF YOU WANT MORE THAN 3 KIDS THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO FINANCE THEM YOURSELVES AND NOT RELY ON THE TAXPAYER FOR A LIFETIME OF HANDOUTS.
existing claimants would be excluded but we can discourage them having anymore because they cant have anymore benefits.
