What's Wrong With The World?

People on low income having their benefits cut.

People on low income because of long term illness or disability being told they are fit for work by people with no medical training.

People on low income being told they have to pay more of their rent because they have a spare room.

People on low income being told they have to pay part of their Council Tax Bill.

People on High income getting Tax Cuts and therefore, more money.

And then David Cameron, our partially elected Prime Minister, goes in front of the House of Commons and says that the Reduction of Rent Benefit is "not a tax, it's a benefit."  OK, I partially agree with Mr Cameron, {Yuk} it's not a tax, it's a REDUCTION in Benefit.

But, Mr Cameron did not agree it was a reduction in benefit, he was just decrying the fact that the "Bedroom Tax" is being called a Tax, when it's a penalty.  Yes, a penalty, those people with one extra room, used for medical equipment, used for respite from a partner tossing and turning and moaning in pain, used for a child who is at University or serving our country by being sent to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Falklands at the Government's behest.

There is an old saying, "Never Corner A Wounded Animal", Mr Cameron, you have pushed and pushed the low paid and disabled back and back, into a corner, if you refuse to acknowledge the harm you are doing to a large portion of the population, you will get bitten!

There is no single set of teeth being bared against you, instead, every single disabled person who has a family has that family set against you.  Every low paid family which have family members in reasonably and high paid employment has the high, medium and low paid against you.

That is, unless, like you appear to be, they are cold heartless animals.

Stop what you are doing to this country before it is too late, before the benefit claimants turn against you, and remember please,your cuts affect servicemen and their families, there could be revolution against the Government.

Stop, now.  Freeze the pogrom of cuts against those that cannot afford cuts.  Work on a workable solution, get the fix ready, discussed and corrected, then put it in place.

Stop "Raising more money for the rich", and make this a fairer society.  You see, your own words show your inhumanity.  Is it fair that the rich get richer while the poor are slammed time and time again with benefit cuts in real money and with penalties on their homes?

Stop reducing taxes to pay for everything.  How that works, I will never understand.  You have a chance to get more money coming in to pay for everything, but don't use it!  Raise taxes, impose a penalty on anyone getting paid bonuses for doing their job. 

Oh, especially, stop people being paid £200 a day for sitting in an office, doing nothing, occasionally going to a meeting and making decisions that affect everyone in the country.  Why get three times the amount the average benefit claimant gets a week every day? 

We the striving, led by the unknowing are surviving on nothing but insults and slander.
