Benefit Provider

Benefits are provided to keep people in poverty. There is no reason for the beneficiaries to do anything and they become totally dependent on the State (benefits). This in turn supports the government that 'provides' the benefits and virtually ensures future votes to get (back) into power. Effectively, this is simple bribery using, of course, taxpayers (public) money that was originally provided by taxpayers to the incumbent government (by force and threats of imprisonment). Extortion Buying votes with public money and who would bite off the hand that feeds? What does government do with such freely given, and unaccountable £billions that have been 'donated' by the non-dependent taxpayer? The system needs taxpayers to fund lifestyles. In reality, the government (ie a collective of individuals who soak up the power and control) is the dependent entity.

The parasite = government

feeding off the host:

the people

Strength is completely with the people, but is not fully realised. Some societies are forced to tolerate dictatorships and some ultimately rebel Libya, Syria. Tunisia. Egypt. Governments have a military force and feel completely justified to repel all boarders, though in reality it is used to subjugate its own people. The most obvious are Zimbabwe and China, though many other examples still survive and are constantly misdirected into history.

• Could this happen in the UK? Possibly. Society is ripe for revolution. Squeezed and squeezed harder ("tax the rich until the pips squeak"). In the times of Denis (as an ex-pm: now a Lord) Healey [Labour] (gongs are inevitable - DA) . Sir John Major [Tory].

Buried in the past with the attempt to induce forgetfulness. Without power and control these people are nothing. Empty and completely ineffective at creating truly positive outcomes. What is the real reason for the egotistical need for power? Power only implies an arrogance and the desire to control. Why? Access to the £billions in government coffers. Taxpayers' contribution to the upkeep of topical (adjective: 1) society.

Perhaps Without verifiable accounts that can be examined by any taxpayer how could you possibly know if you were being robbed blind?
