I'm reading a book that is 28 years old and is complaining of a 'benefit culture', although it is more commonly referred to as 'socialism'. I'm sure if I read the oldest works available there's probably something on similar lines there or thereabout.

How do they define child poverty, anyway (I haven't read the article; not going to, either - too busy, not busy enough to call you a **** though - strange that)?
I think it's half the median income of the country.

By employing the free market. If you can't afford to keep your child in an acceptable standard of living, there are many rich people out there* who would be happy to buy your child.
