I agree, the tax payer again suffers. I work full-time, study a law degree part-time at uni, am a single mother trying to improve the quality of life for my son and I. I get very little help from the government, barely enough tax credits to pay for school dinners and transport. I am one of the 10% of NIHE tenants who actually pay rent and have to suffer at the drunken antics of my neighbours who can afford to drink all day, and no doubt will benefit from a free laptop when I have to travel to the local library for my studies. Its about time the government rewarded those who contribute to the country instead of draining it into recession.

as normal I am Hard working trying to make ends meets
this country sees fit to take money from workers
to reward so called low income people which most have no
intention of working.Many I do not blame because working seems to
be a mugs game.Take out tax and ni from my £14,000 a yaer
I take home about £10,000 out of which I pay council tax
(not to mention medical expenses if I unforunately cannot work)
I feel I’d be better of as a low income earner or unemployed

“So the mother who’s worried about her son struggling with his reading can find out more about how she can help, or the dad who works long hours and can’t make a parents’ evening can keep in touch with his daughter’s progress, at whatever time of the day or night that he’s free.”

-and so the taxpayer can pay for the scrounger to sit on Facebook all day.
