What would happen following your arguement is those with property would sell up, have a great time spending the money from it then claim they need state help.
Wow that would mean I could go on several world cruises in the most expensive cabins. Oh no second thoughts why not fly first class around the world seeing different countries in total luxury.
When all the money is spent i could then go cap in hand to the govermment pleading poverty and be given housing -food- clothing etc all at the states expense .
Costing far more than the pension i would have got.
Great idea . That has shot your theory right down the toilet pan
