live off the state and call themselves tax payers. At any given moment they go on about how they are tax payers and they are paying for us to live. Well let me just tell you not all teens live the life you think.

I don't drink, I don't go clubbing, I'm working, I drive and pay for my car myself, I pay for my food, I pay for my clothes, I pay towards the bills in my home with my parents, If I want anything I buy it myself, I redecorated my bedroom-I bought ALL of the supplies and did it myself, I volunteer and I pay to charties, I pay my own phone bill and I bought my own comuter.

AND i pay 42% tax from my earnings.

So why do you think you have the right to assume that just because I'm 19, I'm living off your tax money?
Lily B- I'm making the assumption based on facts and experience. So many older people complain about young people and it's just not true. nobody I know of my age lives off benefits. Also- yes please I would like a medal, it's very little to ask for being such a good girl :-)
Marco- yes I am British. I though 42% was a lot, so i checked it and it's right, that's how much they can take from me. Robbing gets.
 
I counter with why do all "younger" people assume as you seem to.

I take people, irrespective of their age, as I find them and I never assume that all young people live off the state. Just as I never assume that all middle aged or older people do.
 
Im with you on this it really winds me up too, Im now 28 so kind of with the old category now but I have worked 2 jobs since being 18 worked full time in office and in a pub 4 nights a week for extra cash to pay for the things I wanted like cars, I have never claimed any DSS in my life, BUT however there are alot of bums out there that won't get a job and they are not all young some are old too, but they go for the disability benefits pretending they are depressed or something, I wish I worked for benefits Id stop every-ones benefits and get them all back to work. But the old people think that all Young'sones are ignorant so they are ignorant in return and never realise how nice some are too.
 
Are you British? The "42 percent" suggests that. If so, that's because you live in a socialist nation. I've never heard an older person in the United States say that young people were living off taxes. (PS: Our highest tax rate is 33 percent, and very few people actually pay that much -- in fact, 40 percent of Americans pay no taxes at all.)
