I don't like Tax Credits, because they are effectively a subsidy for bad employers, who can pay their employees a pittance and expect the State to make up the difference. One of Gordon Brown's more stupid ideas! However now that many low paid workers have become dependent on them to have an even half-decent standard of living, it seems unfair to take them away all of a sudden, as George Osbourne is trying to do! I am pleased that the House of Lords has rejected his plans. They have acted as the concience of the Nmnation.
