Why do business owners complain about those recieving government benefits?

[Bronwyn E]

I have acctually heard business owners complaining about unemployed people and how they are 'dole bludgers' sponging off the government. Don't they realise that if the government benefits were to cease so would a lot of their trade? The last thing a business needs is for people to have no money to spend!
I have found it extremely difficult to find a job and that is because businesses won't hire me. If you they don't need me , fine but why call me a bludger?
Plenty of businesses will take advantage of goverment incentive schemes that supplement wages of employees, so do these businesses consider THAT a form of sponging off the government?
Personally I think that if a business owner has a problem with the unemployed the answer would be to hire some! Then their would be less unemployed!
I'd like to see what others have to say.

i agree with u they dont mind our business but then they have the hide to put people that are on benefits down some of them dont realise that not everyone on it is a bludger some of them want to work but sometimes businesses wont hire certain people so its a catch 22 situation n what about the ones that probably worked all their lifes n then they lose their job they have contributed to the country so why shouldnt they get help when they need it they paid their taxes so they should think themselves lucky they have a job coz its the bludgers who go to their shops 2 buy their needs so leave them alone n get on with ur life if u have one!!!
