Petition Redefine the title of benefits as paid by DWP
More details
I feel that there is a cultural belief within this country that the Benefit’s paid by DWP are provided by solely by the Government at the Government expense. I propose that the term “Benefit” be changed for the term “Charity”.
The funds used in the Benefit system are provided by an overtaxed population. These funds would normally have been given as charity to those who are less fortunate. This ideal is supported by two of the major religious groups in the United Kingdom the Christians and Muslims. I am sure this is reflected in other religions as well. I believe the Government should continue collecting and distributing these Charity contributions as it does presently.
This would certainly be the end of the Benefit Culture.
