Any big customer loses?

Folk on DLA are my best customers and pay every month. Usually find these folk spend every penny each month which oxygenises the circulation of money. Now take my millionaire father, he received benefits and was housebound and never spent a penny even got free feet care from council so private guy got bumped. His money built up and never went back into circulation. He died and his estrange much younger wife got everything. I got nothing but i have always worked and made my own money in life, maybe that's the reason I'm conditioned to spend my money on equipment rather than let someone else spend it for me. ?

That's the way I look at it. People who can work but choose not to, generally they are kind of comfortable but the money does go back into circulation like you say. I don't feel bitterness towards them, I just see it as their choice. In an idealist world it wouldn't happen, but it does so no point in letting it bother you. Some of the funniest times of my life where I've been crying with laughter have happened when I'm working, you don't get that opportunity when you're sat at home in the same 4 walls day in day out. You might have a nice telly and a nice holiday even, maybe a new car... but you only really appreciate these things when you've been working and worked for it.

I've always said, I wouldn't want to win the lottery, I don't want to become rich via someone giving it to me, I want to make it myself because it's the satisfaction of getting there on my own that gives me a sense of self achievement.

I knew a bloke who used to live next door to my parents, he did work bits and bobs up till about when he was in his very early 30's then never worked again and played the system. The thing is he purposely made himself overweight and walked about with crutches because he always felt people would grass him up, he was paronoid about it. Whenever you spoke to him he always talked about work, even 20 years after his last job that's all he talked about. I knew him from about 12 years old and he died earlier this year. Generally he had a good heart but I always thought I wouldn't want to be like him.

But yeah, the money gets recirculated and they'll never be rich and always looking over their shoulder. Compare that to us where we can say 'I own my own business' and we have people calling us because our services have been recommended to them... money can't make up for that feeling,,, that feeling of pride and success.

Don't get me wrong it is a silly system, but half of them would probably end up on the rob anyway, so I'd rather they were paid to stay inside and watch the telly all day.

When I worked as a prison officer, I noticed alot of things were done to keep the prison quiet. Nothing worse than a prison riot. Prisoners have alot of rights when inside, if they fail to get them then their lawyer sends a writ to the home secretary. The home secretary may have to give them compensation like money in return. If they were not allowed to question these rights then many lawyers would go bankrupt.
