Letter was an affront to senses

LETTER: "The financial crisis has failed to affect me", who is this individual who is also teaching their children to do the same?

I was made redundant a short while ago and my self-esteem has hit rock bottom. I am 43 years old, and I have a wife and two children.

My mortgage is still being paid by me, my council tax is being paid by me so are utility, food and other bills. I have never claimed a penny in social benefits, yet people like this abuse the system and can get away with it.

I have a disabled son who we take care of ourselves and a 10-year-old daughter who never goes without because I have never been out of work.

With the economic crisis said to be deepening and no sign of work in the near future, what chance have the good, hardworking people of this once great nation got when the person who wrote that mindless drivel is allowed to get away with screwing the system?

This person seems to revel in the fact that she has never worked and rubbing decent people's noses in it.
