AIBU to think that child tax credits should only be for the very needy rather than just supplementing people's income? Family of 5 down the street with only one part time earner heading off for 2 weeks on holiday. Isn't the govt just subsidising thei...

OP have you chickened out of this? Or did that family's goat eat the rest of your post...

Because the thousand pound or whatever they've managed to save would definitely feed clothe keep a roof over their head for a year wouldn't it?

TBH, in my mind, every time someone terribly rich with a clever accountant bypasses income tax in a manner I'm unable to I consider myself subsidising their lifestyle, have no issues providing they're working/trying to work if they're able.

Jealousy is a terrible emotion. Their finances are fuck all to do with you.

It's. none. of. your. business. Can anyone tell that I am not in a good mood today!

Wow. It's good to know that some subjects are off limits and it's not possible to have an alternate viewpoint!
