The average income would go up, so using the nonsensical definition of poverty, they would still be in poverty.

The sad thing is that some people are better off claiming benefits and doing less work than if they had a job.
We need to be addressing this issue instead of throwing millions of pounds away. People know they can abuse the system and they are doing it.
And it is not just the poor doing it. My local MP is throwing millions into projects that benefit him and hardly no one else. Splashing money away without taking onboard any public views.
