Improve Money Rules In 50 Words. Suggest easy changes for our politicians

Everyone should pay tax and should then have access to benefits during hard times. Everyone should also save money. But those who do so when times are good are penalised by having benefits cut when times are hard. The capital limit for many benefits is £10k but does it really make sense to have any limit?

if every public sector worker cut down on job/pay by one hour a week less people would have to be made redundant
i only mean those on 18 ish or more hours/week
and use natural wastage ie people retiring rather than redundancy

Banks should be forced to display the customers current interest rate(s) on the bank statements and on the personal (logged in) pages of internet banking to allow people to manage their money better. To not do this is being economical with the truth; which is polite for deception!

Banks got a massive helping hand after the credit crisis, but the real victims didn't - the public. Make it easy for people to write off debt and make a new start. Only leech-like legal firms who buy the debt for next to nothing are benefitting now.

Would it be better for the Goverment at managing prices by re-nationalizing gas and electric, making all payments equal across the board, safeguarding the elderly and the vunerable.

Stop accusatory letters from the TV Licensing company.
I find words such as 'YOU MAY BE BREAKING THE LAW' offensive and inappropriate.
I do not watch or even own a TV and despite having notified the company of this via their online form, I still receive threatening letters.
What ever happened to innocent until proven guilt?
I understand a new to inform residents of the legal obligation to own a license if they use a TV. But better politeness and tact can be used!

Not_So_Naff

Remove all forms of duplication, issue directives from Government get rid of local decision makers.
Require questions to receive answers, make them do their jobs or go.
Too many have hidden agendas when planning and money is at stake.
Like many other institutions staff ‘bend’ the job to suit themselves.

A schoolteacher I know has three CRB certificates: one as a schoolteacher, one as a youth club leader and one as a Brownie leader. WHY? One CRB check should suffice, thereby cutting down on unnecessary expenses. SOMEONE is making a lot of money out of this ridiculous situation!

I have stopped teaching in this country now because of the CRB scam. My local authority wants me to renew every 3 months at my own cost. If one driving licence can cover all cars why can't one check cover all teaching jobs. If you get points on your licence you can't work with children. The administrators of the CRB scam are also administering the London congestion charge. I wonder if the also advise on CRB policy? A friend playing Santa recently, said he dare not let children sit on his lap due to the current climate of paranoia and fear in this country. This is all too sad.

Force all supermarkets to standardise weights to price info. So you can quickly decide what is cheapest product. No calculations then needed to work out price compared to g, kg, lb… ALL CONSISTANT PLEASE. :T

There should be NO unemployment in our society!

Number of people in employment can be increased in a very easy way by:

1. 1. Creating more part time jobs
2. 2. Creating more job share posts
3. 3. Creating jobs for full time parents!!

• a) parents who can not afford child minders should be able to get a jobs on term time only basis!
• b) jobs for parents have to be flexible i.e. employers need to be willing to employ more people on casual basis and there should be a whole community of people willing to work and willing to be contacted should an employer need urgent cover. It could be done in number of ways: email, SMS, phonecall etc.
• c) this type of jobs would attract all sorts of employees and could be split between three people: 1-morning staff, 2-school time staff, 3-afternoon staff. This would create more people being employed and more people happy with their lives. Job element in anybody's life is so important like "bread and water" and should never be a problem in well developed country like Great Britain!

Jobs for parents on casual basis are very important to create a healthy society and it still has not been addressed by any of the politicians well.
It has to have a national coverage for 100% of willing to work parents, should not reduce significantly any social benefits but it should make such a difference that unwilling to work parents would be worst off.

Jobs for full time parents is a missing link for creating healthy physically, mentally and spiritually society and politicians who ignore importance of it should be fined and sent to prison instead of
- parents who can not afford child minders and are forced to work long hours to the detriment of their family life
- parents with kids that are not being supervised properly who in the absence of parents get up to all sorts of mischief and later in life are just at the rock bottom of the society.

It is really high time to stop what is the primary cause of all sorts of evil in our society.
All people have to work, some will do it for free but some can not afford to.
However all people can work shorter hours not longer!! or all can work part time to be able to take care of what really is vitally important for the good of whole society.
- Well balanced kids
- Well balanced parents
- Well balanced citizens

To achieve this politicians have to look closer into Maslov's hierarchy of needs and much closer into the aspect of work/life balance and dangers of not having it!
