The reality is the burdens will fall on those dependent on the state, i can’t, forgive me if i am wrong see many high earners being hit can you?. The Tories with the help of the Liberal Democrats are hurting many of our residents who sadly use the benefit system,getting people back in work needs one key item to work,Jobs and sadly we are throwing thousands on to the scarp heap.the condems say the private sector will pick up the slack,but we are coming out of one of the worst recessions ever recorded.I believe things will change when the axe starts to fall, when people begin to feel the crunch high food prices,no jobs and no prospects for their children.The demonstrations we saw the other day will grow when people become more angry as the days pass.I witnessed the riots caused by the The famous Thatcher Tax,i hoped we would never see that again in this country,my wish was for stability and growth sadly it’s something that will never happen with a Government that puts so much hardship on the sections of our communities that can least afford to take it.
