Petition Action

Extra taxation to be deducted from those calling for benefit withdrawals.

Additional Information

Considering that those who have benefits withdrawn will most likely end up committing more crime (which will lead to higher crime statistics and more work for the police); and most likely end up in prison (where we will be expected to pay for their food and accommodation, at an average cost of just under £50, 000); and most likely have children who will also end up doing the same, more money will be needed than if those concerned were kept on benefits and simply subjected to the full force of the law like everyone else.

Therefore, those who wish for the country to spend more money needlessly (just so that they can feel that they are being tough by asking for the withdrawal of benefits), when cuts are being demanded everywhere else during the present economic crisis should actually be asked to pay the extra costs.
