In the scheme of things I don't think the scrapping of a 'Christmas Bonus' for social welfare recipients is such a bad thing.

Cutting medical cards for the elderly was a bad thing but as a young (& thankfully working) tax payer why should I have to help fund everyone else's Christmas 'bonus' when I probably won't get a bonus of my own this year plus I'll have to cope with all the extra levy's and taxes that those outside of the tax net don't get hit with, nah, everyone should share the pain and sorry if that seems harsh to some of you out there but c'mon folks there's far too many creaming the social welfare.
