What are the benefits of a colostomy?

What are benefits and why do people receive them?

• So i have to do a speech on benefits, and i need all the information i can as the internet is useless with information about it, i know who receives it and all that but i want to know why they receive benefits when they don't really do much to earn them. Who pays the money for all these benefits, is it the government? Do people who receive benefits pay taxes? and i'd also like your own opinion on what you think about benefits please

• Answer:

  I suppose it depends on what country you live in: some countries are good at handing out benefits, while others pay hardly any benefits at all. Who receives benefits? Anyone who has fallen on hard times and cant work for some reason. This could be illness (including accidents) or single mothers with a fazzle of kids, or simply those who cannot find a job. Who pays them (where does the money come from)? It comes mainly from the working taxpayer: but of course, if those who are now claiming them have also worked, they have already been taxed, so they are paying towards their own benefits. ........................ In general, people who are on benefits would not pay taxes, or perhaps at the very lowest rates. They probably aren`t getting enough to put them on the tax threshold. ..................... In general (in the ukl anyway) benefits get a bad Press. Many people just assume that many people on benefits are just idle scroungers who don`t want to go out to work. This obviously cannot be right, and most benefits are justified. People have to eat. But yes, of course, there are idle scroungers who `play the system` and the uk government is trying to winkle them out and get them back to work. The main problem is, there are not many jobs available during this world recession, so they have a serious problem.
