Stopping MPs Expenses Would Up Our Income

AkinNuAn

Hi people,

My income has taken a beating and my outgoings have increased in the last two years... How about you? I had no interest in politics until I got sick of seeing these cheeky MPs in the news using our tax money on their expenses... When they get paid over £100k PER YEAR!

At 14:55 on Wednesday, 27 June 2007, Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair as Britain's Prime Minister. Big mistake!

Since then...

Gordon Brown has introduced over 66 new types of tax.

Gordon Brown has overseen government debt rising to £750bn

and more to come...

MPs claimed £93 MILLION in expenses last year alone. They gave ministers a lower than advised pay rise whilst giving themselves a HIGHER THAN ADVISE INCREASE in their MP wages... Ask yourself if this is right?! If we want to up our income then they should scrap most of MPs expenses and make them pay their own way, just like we have to.

I can't sit back and do nothing anymore, but this protest happening in London is not going to acheive much- So I've started a Facebook group to try and get some action from the government.

If you have a Facebook profile and feel that this country and its government has gone to the dogs, please join to show your support and invite your friends. The group is called
'10 Million Brits to get Gordon Brown OUT and STOP THE GRAVY TRAIN'

(Search facebook with the above heading and you'll find it)

What are your views on these? Do you think the gravy train should be stopped? Are you for or against?

I live on a very small income, but if I want broadband I pay for it myself, I dont expect someone else to pay for what me or my family want.
Everyone I know who has a job miles away from home -they have to commute or move nearer to the job.

all this government has done for me is to increase my bills and tax me 20% on my income instead f 10%. Thanks for nothing,
oh but there's money for the banks with a bad track record and to pay child allowance to immigrants who claim to have some children back in their own country but not for bringing pensions back inline with true cost of living.

MP's should live on the average wages that we do then they can feel the true impact of all the taxes they impose on the majority of us.

Enough is enough, what did my Grandfather fight at Dunkirk for? Not for this.
