Hate the Tories. But...working tax credits had to be reformed. They've ballooned out of all proportion (£40BN per year apparently) and basically become an excuse for employers not to pay a REAL living wage. And capping them at 2 kids seems fair enough - and the principle should be extended to ALL benefit entitlements. Why should it fall to other taxpayers to pay for your children? It's your choice. Can't afford to look after them, don't have them. My parents didn't get tax credits. They would now. But they managed their life choices and finances sensibly, and didn't rely on the state. I hate to see the Tories dismantle the Welfare State, - and what they're doing to the disabled / mentally ill with ATOS and the unemployed with benefit sanctions is a national disgrace - but I also hate to see it abused by c**ts like Mick Philpott and the Jeremy Kyle brigade.
