Did you see the annoucment about every "poor" family getting a free £700 computer and free broadband? Even well-off families can't afford that in this recession! He just keeps making concessions to the "poor" (most of them are unemployed and not motivated to get a job because it actually pays more remain unemployed). We DON'T HAVE child poverty in this country, but he keeps on giving them huge amounts of cash, like EMA (£30 a week for turning up at school, per child whose parents earn less than ~£30,000)
The whole point of having a CAPITALIST economy is that the poorer people aren't meant to get all of the luxuries because they weren't good enough at school and got low-paid jobs. Trying to change through taxation and redistribution that is unfair on the people who've worked hard to get where they are.
