You see the title. For example, in England if someone works 37 hours minimum wage, with their pay (after paying for all expenses such as taxes, water, electricity and rent) they earn 5p more than the people on job seekers benefits. This certainly shouldn't be the case. People on benefits shouldn't earn just as much as someone who works, and we all know this. But no politician, no prime minister is going to change that. Not because it'll be bad for the country, but simply because doing so would make them lose so many votes they're almost guaranteed to lose the next election. So they don't change something to appease the more lazy section of the population just for votes and to stay in power.
