Guest alex Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I bet CT's kids are too old to get it now btw. Wrong again Do you break the £44k threshold though? Cant really take anyone srious on this issue who doesnt at least see this as a very good first move. Well off people dont need benefits. I agree it shouldn't be universal like but at the same time this doesn't seem a particularly fair way of doing it either. Smokescreen anyway like but it's working.

Cant really take anyone srious on this issue who doesnt at least see this as a very good first move. Well off people dont need benefits. What about those with a household income of 80k? Thats why I said "first move". Lets look at the facts. 85% of people currently receiving child benefit wont be affected by this. of the ones who are, there will be some oddities as you describe. These will be miniscule. To make this change problem free you would then have to start means testing every family, filling in forms, more wasted in pen pushing than would probably be saved. I would rather see the 1 billion saving than get all heated up over the few exceptions. You have similar oddities in most current tax systems now. Hopefully this is just the sort of thing that will be tidied up when the single benefit comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see this being really painful for single-earning familes with several kids tbh, I don't think the 'oddities will be miniscule' either. Easy to applaud it when it doesn't affect you though (assuming you don't declare wages in excess of £44k). This is going to piss off a lot of Conservative voters actually, so in a way I applaud Cameron for being brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4704 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't actually believe this will save £1b btw. Who knows? While some will jump on this as the big Tory political plan behind the cuts, it is allowing a real good shake up of spending that has been long overdue. Most governments shy away from this sort of thing because it is not popular and nobody wants to grasp the nettle, however I think out of these cuts will evolve a much leaner government more suited to the needs of today, not yesteryear. Getting rid of stupid handouts, sorting out welfare, defence etc should put us in a far better position to spend money in the right way and in the right areas. Less tanks, better schools etc. IDS launching the single benefit now on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) New enterprise allowance announced. Upto £2000 worth of help for anyone who has been in employment for 6 months who now wants to start their own business. Exactly what Thatcher offered. My dad started a mobile vhs hire business when she was touting it. Nowhere near enough to start a business of course, so it generates loans for the banks.....and defaults further down the line when 4 out of 5 of them fail.

ewerk 30333 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It's not even cash they're offering, it seems to be 2000 quid's worth of mentoring and 'assistance'. I'm not sure who will be doing this mentoring but anyone reasonably decent couldn't offer much for 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 3955 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm going to have one more go at explaining my position on this. Under the proposal someone paying the top rate of tax with a dependant wife and two dependant children will be paying exactly the same rate of tax as somebody with no wife and dependant children. It has always been the case up til now that either by extra allowances or by child benefit the government has supported to some extent people with the responsibilty of families. If we are all in this together the fair thing is not to end this traditional support for tory family values, but to expect ALL of those who earn the high rate of tax to pay more in tax, not just those supporting families. I'm not saying these high rate earners shouldnt be paying an exra 90 quid a week in tax -I am saying they all should - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
