i've just read the gingerbread page on the proposed changes to csa 
and frankly 
because they really fucking hate us don't they? there's not even an attempt to hide it. single parents are already being over targeted by the cuts and now they want to take away 12% of our child maintenance and charge us to be allowed to even use the csa? so basically the principle that men should pay for their children and have a legal obligation to do so is gone under the tories? children should have to pay for the right to get maintenance and essentially pay a 12% tax on what they receive because feckless father's refuse to make a private arrangement and stick to it?
it really is a mix of and
what is the point of us living here you know? maybe there is no point in us paying taxes or taking a strong part in society if we're not even entitled to basic fucking rights and recognition? women - you don't mean much. single mum's - we couldn't give a flying fuck about you except to stop you existing so we're going to cut benefits, cut childcare elements for those who are trying hard to work and make ends meet, cut CB for those of you who manage to make it to hrt payer level even though you don't have a 'wife' to stay home and look after the kids and will possibly be paying £700pm in childcare after tax, can't find a job in your area that fits with childcare or in fact a job at all even though your child is at school? we'll cut your HB by 10% oh and while we're at all this we'll try and bring through tax breaks for married people.
disenfranchised much? yes.
why should we give a damn about a society and economy that does all that it can to make us and our children starve to death whilst demonising us in the papers and giving the absconding fathers a pat on the back and even more power to get away with paying anything at all economically, socially, or emotionally for their own children.
these changes are horrific. and they ARE personal - they are absolutely targeted at people like me.
