Jobless and Lovin' It

(London) Check out some of the latest numbers from the British Office for National Statistics.

Despite pumping billions of British pounds into helper schemes, 20 percent of households exist entirely on government benefits. Another way to put it, not even one person is employed in one out of every five British homes.

But that's not all. Of the households where nobody has a job, only one in five has anyone who is actively looking for a job. Therefore, of the households where nobody has a job, 80 percent don't even have anyone looking for a job.

Evidently, the Brits are giving all of life's essentials to the have-nots and the have-nots are kicking back and enjoying the socialist dream -- utopia. Karl Marx would be so proud.
