This mother of eight has never had a job and has never had any intention
of getting one; however, something just happened that is forcing her to
start looking for her first job ever.
When people think they can live off of the government and believe
they are entitled to these benefits, they clearly lose their motivation
to work unless they are mandated to. This story is sickening.
When Prime Minister David Cameron announced that he would be
instating a new cap on the dollar amount of benefits citizens can
receive, single mother of eight Marie Buchan was not prepared for what
she had to do next. The cap has been at approximately $40,000 and has
been reduced to a little over $34,000.
Buchan has never had a job and now she’s being forced to find her
first job ever in order to care for her children. It’s hard to feel
sorry for her as she has been living off of government benefits for so
long and abusing the system.
Buchan first made headlines when she publicly complained that she
could not live off of the $40,000 cap from the government. She made
headlines again when she was caught purchasing over-the-top, expensive Christmas gifts using money provided by the government.
“This benefits cap is getting out of control,” Buchan said. “I think
you are going to get similar cases as to what happened with the bedroom
tax – people taking their own life due to the financial pressures they
are feeling. It will hit people that hard.”
“I did attempt to start work in the past and had it all in place to
do a 16 hour cleaning job,” Buchan said, “but the kids didn’t want to
get ready in the morning, so I could leave. It is going to be so tough.”
I know plenty of working mothers who deal with this on a daily basis.
This is a reality of life Buchan will soon learn she has to face.
Buchan claims she works 21 hours a day caring for her eight children, all under the age of 13.
