Again, you speak words that I hear, Cleve
I guess that I'm growing tired of climbing out of holes - especially when I see people who are 'less deserving' than I.

I have been lower than this, and I am not so stupid as to think that there are not people 'below' me...I feel bitter, because I don't want much, you know?..and I can't even have that.

I work (when there is work), I am curteous and respectful, I try to be a good father to my children, I pay my way and adhere to the laws of the land.
I just feel that the 'land' is taking more than its fair share (ie, gov.) and not redistributing the wealth properly.
I see scum that rape the system for all they can get, and contribute nothing in return.
I see the government squander money on useless things (£8million on a leaflet to tell us what to do in the event of a terrorist attack..FFS!), and are unmindful of the majority need.
And in all of it, I (along with many others) are forced to work longer and harder hours to provide the minimal basics.

In the UK, success is frowned upon - fact.
We seem to have been indoctrinated with the need to destroy the reputation of those who have succeeded - we only have to open the newspapers each day to see evidence of it.
It makes me sick.

Yeah, this has come about because I have £4 to survive on...I'm not joking...and it is because of taxation that I find myself in this situation.
I usually bring home £350+ a week....and it is not enough to live on - how the fuck can 1 man NOT survive on that kind of money?
Forget the pension - can't afford it.
Forget saving for my kids higher education - I cant afford that either.
My earnings just cover my basic living expenses...and I'm on a 'good wage' in comparison to others.

I don't drink, don't socialise, don't do anything except go to work - blah blah blah
