Ask yourself the more fundamental question - why are these people poor?
I am far from a far right. In fact I am called the wishy washy lefty in work

All I am saying is that is there should be plenty of safety nets and support but people should be responsible for their actions.

Well why don’t we reduce the tax on smoking and drinking to zero then and improve peoples ‘choice’? Would you be in favour of that?
