Do you feel the government should have given everyone a one off payment for winter fuel, i understand the elderly and sick need it , but in view of how this government has fleeced us all , and the amount they send overseas to help others , it would have helped us all a little if they done this , thank you

  1. What has it got to do with Yahoo?


  2. No   i  don't think  so.

  3. I think that anyone with an income under a certain amount should have received it.  I'm on benefits due to being a carer and student and this year is going to be tough!  Any help would have been appreciated especially by those who are unable to go out and get a job or second job because of their circumstances.  It feels like another kick in the face for full time carers and others who cannot get extra income.

  4. No, I don't believe so for a number of reasons. I want the govt. to stay out of my life, my business, and my wallert as much as possible. The money you wish for from the govt. has to come from the same source as all of the money used by the govt-  You and me and every other taxpayer.  And since someone has to administer the distribution of funds, there's a pretty hefty handling charge attached to every $ taken from us by the govt. I'd prefer that the govt. stick to providing the core services they were originally required by the Constitution to provide such as National Security and a banking system.  Regulations cost you tons of $ one way or another and lessen your ability to pay for the things that you want and need. Cut my taxes, stop the earmarks and huge waste from politicians pet projects and let me provide for me and mine. The extra money that I have left over will be shared with charities and other good causes and spent much more effectively than our govt has ever been able to.  

  5. No I don't think so  - this money has to come from somewhere and we're the ones paying for it anyway so its pointless

  6. A lot of People on Low Incomes and Especially Income Related Assistance, Will have a very Hard Winter, The Labour [So Called] Government, Are Finished and They Know It! Yes They should Have.  

  7. Why, I've had to work for it why shouldnt you
