Hi,
I don't really know much about this because I'm not the type of person to want to learn about this from the news and such. I show no interest in it because there's so much shit going on throughout the world revolving around the same kind of scenario. But I'm going to post my thoughts.
From what I've read on here, and from what I understand, overall I think it results to the government and their sly ways of conning money and people, I think they're rediculous.
Some of you English people will understand what this is about; people from other countries won't because I don't think you 'benefit' from this; benefit, yeah right.
My point is EMA; Education Maintenance Allowance. I'm just 17 years old and I do not recieve EMA. This is because their income boundary for EMA is £30,000 a year. My step dad is on £40,000 alone. My mum is on £15,000.
My first point is that it's my step dad on the high payroll, he is not my blood-relative. He is not going to give me any money, why should he? We live in a quarter mill house, I have 2 brothers, a baby brother and one at primary school. My mum's money is already spoken for right there, among debts and such. I recieve no income. But they don't seem to understand that.
How is EMA paid for? Taxes.
This is what bothers me the most, it's all abig con. My parents pay for peoples EMA through their taxes, but I don't recieve it because MY PARENTS, i mean.. My step dad is on a high payroll? Great.
Some of you will reply with telling me to get a part-time job. I have done, but it's difficult to goto college full time, then work part time, among sociailising, and such.
My point of the story is, the government are shit.
