I have been on this site for a little while now (lurking for much much longer) and it seems there is a split in peoples political views.
I come from what many US people would call a "Socialist" country, in that we give financial aid in untold amounts of formats and have "socialist healthcare". Now here is my question for you.
What are your views on the following:
Handouts for the genuinely needy (such as a subsidy for actually searching for work, totally not more than $10/£10 a day)
Assistance for paying rent/mortgages (such as a housing subsidy for only when you are out of work, totalling not more than $100/£100 a month)
Healthcare paid for out of your wage (totalling not more than 10% of your wage AFTER the income tax threshold, and free for children)
Also for personal issues what are your political views on the following:
Fiscal responsibility and benefits - If you save a certain amount per year (say for example $6000/£6000) you get tax relief on it, as you will likely NOT need to draw on the above listed handouts for a while.
Free education - Free education up to the age of 19, and reduced cost up to the age of 21 for university (to a cost of no more than $6000/£6000 per year)
I am genuinely interested in your views, and if you are for/against and how you go about implementation of said views.
