What are they suppose to do?

Tax the ones who work 100 times more and scrap VAT rises that effect everyone?

There is no simple solution....and I don't no if you were saying the tories want to shoot everyone who earns less than 10k as serious.  -.-

There are alternative solutions, especially through supporting the public sector, gradually reducing the defiticit while supporting those who need it.

Yes, it would mean those who can afford to pay more are taxed more, but that means we won't be cutting off support to those less well off, the vulnerable and essential services., all those services we need but don't usually think of.

The impact the current policies will have on those hard working people on lower incomes and the pubic sector (who work just as hard as anyone else), will be huge.

Finally, the amount you earn does not equate to how hard you work - a nurse in the UK earnes between £12k and £25k a year, a soldier earns £16-25k a year, a policeman between £19-32k, a social worker between £17-35k. are they not as hard working as bankers, stockbroakers, insurance brokers, hedgefund managers? I think it would be unfair to say they deserce less money.

exactly, the whole capitalist argument about hard work equating to better pay is utter dross and has no basis in reality.
