Such a thing never really occurred to me until recently, I read an article about it last week and I have heard Vincent Browne suggesting it several times on his show, I reckon its a good idea. I just saw this article pop up on yahoo about a polish waitress who gave up her job in donegal in order to go on the dole because it was worth more money to her and she could spend her days rambling on the beautiful beaches etc. Apparently she has sparked fury but you rarely hear it mentioned how ridiculous it is that people are allowed to employ you for less than what the state deems to be the amount of money people on welfare need to live on.
