Child Benefit for Higher Rate Taxpayers

[QUOTEyou implied that I was narrow minded based on a view that I hadnt even expressed. Remove it or I'll get it removed. ][/QUOTE]
I called you narrow minded because, well, it certainly seems that way. In that, to call people who receive minimum wage and consider 40k a fair cut off point for withdrawing CB a fair course of action "MORONS"
Additionally, you state that they receive 35k in benefits. Not true.
The total monetary value of benefits depends on how much your rent is, how many children you have and if any other benefits kick in. It is perfectly possible to receive 11k in benefits.0 -

except for i didnt.
The only people that I have called morons are those who supposedly live of 15K but by the action of CB, CTC and so on end up with a nett of £2300 to spend in cash per month yet STILL think they are on 15K per year.
They arent.
If you or anyone else doesnt belong to that group then quite simply I havent called you anything at all. Nor have I branded EVERYONE as anything at all. It is a myth created in your mind and a myth that was then used to call me narrow minded.Salt0 -

At no point did I say that anyone get 35K in benefits
At no point did I call anyone a moron for thinking CB should be taken away from 40K earners.
Quote these comments that I have supposedly said or remove theses false claims about me. It is your lack of ability to read that has caused you to think that I have said these things hence why you were told to read my posts again.Salt0 -
Quite capable of reading, thanks.At no point did I say that anyone get 35K in benefitsAt no point did I call anyone a moron for thinking CB should be taken away from 40K earners.Cue the usual bunch of minimum wage morons saying "why do you need child benefit when your on 40K" oblivious to the fact that they themselves are on 35K by the time they have had every handout known to man.0

evidently you arent because....
being on 35K AFTER having your money topped up is not the same as "receiving 35K in benefits" which is what you claimed that I said.
Furthermore what I ACTUALLY critisised (in the real world not your distorted mind) is those people who slate 40K earners for getting child benefit while failing to see that they themselves can be on 35K by the time they have their wages, CB, CTC etc etc.
What I did not say, or critisise is those that express the opinion that a 40K earner should get CB.
So that is 2 examples of you either fabricating a view for me or not having the basic intelligence to understand the real point that Ive made. So, as i said earlier, stop critisising me for things that I havent said if you havent got the ability to back it up with proof.Salt0 -
