The thing is that I take the money as well, but its a little bit disingenuous to say "here's a cheque" 6-8 weeks before the election and then come April I have to pay the vast majority back in taxes. I mean yeah, I would still cash the cheque, but lets not act like this is some great altruism on the part of the government either.
