Change the tax & welfare systems so WORK PAYS for low and middle income earners
DON'T increase welfare spending, funded by ever more taxation; INSTEAD change the systems to :
Encourage and fairly reward the strivers of this country
Encourage all who can to contribute to society by working
Discourage welfare as a lifestyle choice
Allow us to support those in genuine need
The planned budget changes will increase tax further for many working people BUT still find the money to increase welfare payments.
Recent reports suggest that soon 1 in 4 workers in full time jobs would be better off staying at home on benefits - often by thousands (and even tens of thousands) of pounds.
This is madness !
Our tax and welfare systems have to show people that their work is valued and it has to be financially worth working - if not, more and more will choose to stop.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you are concerned about low and middle income earners but we are not sure what changes you would like to see. You could start a new petition setting out clearly what changes you would like to happen.
Or you could sign petitions we already have open. For example:
