Petition Taxpayers don't want to fund benefit cheats - Support the cap!

More details

Support the cap on benefits. There are too many people out there who are profiting from getting benefits as it pays more than actually finding a real job. (You want proof just watch Jeremy Kyle!) As a tax payer I don't want to fund someone to sit in front of Sky tv, smoke 200 cigarettes and consume their weight in alcohol every week. Either cap the benefits or let the tax payer have a say as to where their hard-earned money is to be spent!
