Fairness on Child Benefit Cuts
The cut to child benefit for any family where ONE parent earns over £50,000 per year is an attack on the traditional family, where one parent stays at home to raise children and one works to provide for the family.
A couple both earning £49,999 per year (Total HOUSEHOLD income of £99,998), KEEP the full child benefit.
This is extremely unfair and deliberately penalises the traditional family.
David Cameron has stated that the move - which will see families with one earner on more than £50,000 lose some or all of the payment, while households with two parents with salaries just under the trigger keep theirs - was the "right approach".
How can such an unfair treatment be the “right Approach”; millionaire David Cameron must realise this is unfair and RE-THINK this policy and make it fair.
