Remove all Jobseeker's Allowance

Additional Information

Why should we pay people for being unemployed? The state should not give people money because they don't have a job, if they need or want money the unemployed should and must find a job to get money themselves or suffer the consequences. The employed should not be given a incentive to not find a job. Employed live permanently on the money given to them rather than use it to seek a job. In such austere economic times, sixty pounds shouldn't be weekly dished out in their hundreds of thousands, to people who give next to nothing back to society. I wish I could be given £67.50 per week for doing practically nothing, but (at the rate payers expense) that would be immoral. Money should not be given to people do not persistently exert themselves to find a job (if they did, then they would have a job) but instead be reserved for the people who constantly work hard. And this is why all Jobseeker's Allowance should be removed and reviewed by Parliament.
