Maggiemaybe, that as well.
We are constantly presented in the media as drones, a drag on the economy, a leech on the body economic. I think it is time much more was made of our contribution to the economy on every front, as tax payers, consumers and voluntary workers.
Now the real leeches on the economy are children, They rarely have an income or pay any tax yet they cost the country billions. Education alone costs this country £90 billion a year, then there is the cost to Local Councils with providing support services, protection services, medical care. There is the effect they have on their parents work efficiency. Parents of young children are almost always dead tired, They cannot work at their best when tired, not to mention time off dealing with sick children, school events etc etc. Children really are a drag on the economy
