So how would you explain this to a widow struggling to bring up 3 kids, while next door her neighbours living in a dead marriage of convenience still benefit from this policy? How is that fair?
Government budgets are based upon an assumed level of tax and other income year on year. That tax is dropping from 2015 because of this policy. Therefore Government expenditure will have to reduce as a result. So OK, instead of asking how is it is going to be paid for, are you still going to be...
But that bonus cheque is also from lower paid 1 parent families, lower paid not marrieds, lower paid separateds, lower paid divorcees and lower paid singles.
Still fair?
Not if you are a 1 parent family, not married, separated, divorced, single, higher rate married you cant.
What next- tax breaks for C of E church goers?!
Its all so very 1950's!!!
