Closed petition NO CHILD BENEFITS FOR MORE THAN TWO CHILDREN

Closed on 8 February 2012

The government needs to stop paying people child associated benefits once they have had two children. Not only do more tax credits have to be paid, more child benefits but also housing benefits, NHS costs for birth and through life, education costs etc etc. Stopping benefits after 2 children will make people think more carefully about having large families and their huge tangible and intangible burden on the state. They will no longer be incentivised to have a lot of children, get more benefits and never work.
More worringly this culture is passed onto the children and they adopt the same approach until it becomes totally unsustainable.
