The new government in the UK said that because of the great debt and the economical situation in the country it is necessary to withdraw the child benefit from the families that earn more than £42,000. So far nothing wrong about it except that it will start to take place from January 2014 instead of immediately and that it should be implemented to all those who earn £60,000+ per year.
One would wonder why on Earth people earning over £80,000 a year should get child benefit in the first place, needless mentioning those who get the same amount and more every week such as footballers, celebrities, politicians etc. We can justify and accept a period of time to sort out which families won't be entitled any more and to give them some time to adjust to it, but for the rich and wealthy it is unacceptable that it's going to be implemented only in 2014, why, so that the government can still give millions of tax payer money to these people while the poor loose their jobs, their homes, their health and their benefits?
