gwydionSparkindarkness explains thusly: "The budget's just come out. It includes a totally unnecessary tax cut for the rich as well as a coporation tax cut for company owners.
We also have an NHS bill that is privatising a lot of it and opposed by just about every professional medical body and the NHS is shrinking ion the face of cuts. We've reduced tax credits for the poorest, made it several times harder to get disablility benefits and the unemployed are being forced to work for free for supermarkets. Cuts to council budgets and benefits in general are hitting the poorest while inflation, increased fuel duty and increased VAT all hurt the poor more.
meanwhile banks that are 70% tax payer owned after the bailouts are paying their executives £1,000,000 per yearm and offering the same again in an annual bonus while same bank drops 21,000 staff. Oh and Company Director pay went up 50% last year.
The safety net is being shredded."
