Millionaires Budget

The Coalition’s Budget is yet another kick in the teeth for hard pressed families across the Constituency.

By cutting the top rate of income tax from 50p to 45p  and reducing Corporation tax from 25% to 22%  it’s a Budget for Millionaires and City Bankers in Kensington and Chelsea not the hard working folk of  Folkestone or Hythe.

It does nothing to alleviate the increasing levels of child poverty and social deprivation suffered by thousands across the Constituency.

 It abjectly fails to bring the new capital or infrastructure projects to Shepway or Kent needed to combat high youth unemployment.

 And above all by freezing personal tax allowances for pensioners and ending universal child benefit it shows that a Cabinet of  Millionaires is more concerned for themselves and their super rich backers than for ordinary decent families living hand to mouth to pay their mortgages, fill up their cars, or scrimping and saving to pay ever increasing heating and food bills.

Its a budget silent on growth, silent on jobs but loud on hoorahs from the millionaires and Corporate billionaires behind Clegg and Cameron’s Coalition.
