also the whole "if you don't agree with me, you're a complete and utter idiot". That really wound me up. Ok so I can't work at the moment, but when I could, I did. I liked the idea that I could buy things and say to myself "I worked for X hours and I earned Y amount of money and I spent it on this thing and now it is mine and I deserve it". I also liked that my job often involved helping other people, and I didn't object to paying tax and NI because I knew that it was because working people pay tax and NI that they are covered if the worst should happen and they become unable to support themselves. Of course, the worst promptly did happen, my health went down the pan and I ended up unable to support myself, and I'm bloody glad that I made my tax/NI contributions so I could get healthcare and claim benefits to live off and didn't end up completely buggered. And if/when I end up in a position where I can work again, I fully intend to start working and paying back into the system again, whether some twat on the internet thinks I'm stupid for it or otherwise.
