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.

1) We don't live in a capitalist economy
2) EMA is a brilliant idea. It gets the people who are only care about earning money now into further and higher education. Which is something this country needs.
3) We DO have child poverty. Just because you don't know it, or can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
4) The people who earn the most, work the least.
