I truly believe that every "caring" policy where raising taxation is concerned is a smokescreen and is aimed at clawing money back off of the poorest in society..Cynical? well mabey I am.

I'd like to point at another piece of legislation that came in a couple of years ago to show my point..It was to help the poor from being taken advantage of by slum landlords (oh yeah they do know alot about slum landlords as quite a few of them are slum landlords)
Briefly, they were saying that people were being crammed into housing and made a law that only 4 people could share a bathroom and kitchen if there were more than 4 people then the others had to leave or the landlord would be fined.
Wow how caring...Sounds like they are really looking after people.

Now here's my point-
No one lives like that unless their finance dictates they do.
The landlords charged the same rent on the house so instead of splitting the extortionate rent with say six people 4 people paid more.
The people that had to leave the house were not offered any help or other accomodtion so some became homeless..
Others(in fours)went into the worst properties..

Who won? the slum landlords..
