Keep an eye on peoples benefits!

Additional Information

It seems to me that it's slightly unfair that people who earn a lot of money off their own back have to pay a lot of tax, some of this tax then goes to people who are on job seekers allowance for example and all they do is squander the governments money (OUR tax money) on cigarettes and alcohol and and in some cases even drugs!

I propose that everyone who is on benefits has to let the government know exactly what they're spending money on.

I know many people who claim job seekers and the job centres don't even check up on them to make sure they are spending the money correctly. It's call job seekers allowance for a reason!
