MickyA Â Â 10 #5 Posted May 10, 2015 What exactly is wrong with the bedroom tax anyway? Just because a someone bought up a family in a council house should it mean that they should keep it once their children have grown up? Or they move into a property that has more rooms than they need? Â This isn't right wing thinking but simply common sense. You want a nice big house then get off your backside and earn the right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What if you had one kid, planned another then ended up having twins?  What if you have kids you could afford to support at the time then have an accident or illness?  ---------- Post added 11-05-2015 at 00:00 ----------  What exactly is wrong with the bedroom tax anyway?

The idea of allocating housing efficiently is a good one but the way it was introduced was pretty badly thought out. Needed to be phased in really, or at least piloted.

This is one of the reasons why the bedroom tax is unfair.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm not convinced there should be child benefit at all. Why should the state subsidise lifestyle choices. If it didn't exist already it would be thought a ludicrous proposition. Wholesale child benefit should be scrapped and the billions saved used to better support children who really need it. Regarding accident or illness, a responsible parent would take out insurance for that very scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
