tax credits

There is something fundamentally wrong when someone earning over the national average is reliant upon benefits. Surely the majority of people should not get benefits rather than the current position where it seems most of the country is on some benefit or another.

i know of people on here that are earning 50k and claim CTC....they get about a tenner a week but 'they are entitled to it!!!!'

Who made the policy? Was it the claimants? No, it wasn't.

Is it fair that somebody who has multiple children with multiple fathers gets to keep all child support AND all benefits, therefore being much, much better off than a 2 parent family earning circa 50k per year - that is gross as obviously tax is taken off. They get all council tax paid, all rent paid. That is far worse.

I thought they were going to scrap it for incomes over £50k, last night on the news that had come down to £40k. This morning in the paper it is £31k. I think that they will end up scrapping it all, i wouldn't be surprised by next year if i didn't receive a penny. I wouldn't say they were pro-family either, just my opinion!
