Well, ...A few comments on this star of an article:<br /><br />Well, first off, the article completely misses the really nasty part of the benefits report, that the local housing allowance is going to be cut to 35% of median rental values from 50%. People are going to end up on the streets from that, so complaining about the changing of index to reduce the growth rate of benefit payments seems a distraction. You can get the document here : http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/junebudget_documents.htm and I encourage you to take a look for yourself if you've not done so.<br /><br />'specious claim of "attracting private capital," when what will happen in reality is that what will be attracted are profiteers and speculators'<br /><br />The two terms mean something different?<br /><br />'benefit recipients as mere parasites and scroungers, not people in need of help and support from their society'<br /><br />This debate goes back to the old Dickensian argument over the deserving and the undeserving poor. Guess which side Dave and his mates are on. <br /><br />Roll on complete EU integration, perhaps the French and Germans will manage to provide us with the egalitarian tax system our own America worshiping politicians seem so loathe to.Naggedbycatsnoreply@blogger.com
