Yes but when your family earns over a certain limit and 40% is taken away you would be not that pleased. And I didnt mean to offend Xeno, the NHS could be one of the best heathcare systems in the world if properly managed, people should pay for something like the meals so they are not always crap. The thing that gets me angry is people who just stay at home and watch Trisha on their widescreen tv in their council house and they are just living off benifits and can't be bothered to work.

People who earn more than 100,000grand/year income (thats 1 person, not the combined) would get taxed more under the Liberals. I feel thats fair. A decent wage that is easy to live on in the UK i would say is 50grand/year.
The ones that are in council houses pay council tax, and i think i've just realised why Blair imposed that tax. To get them into work. I still think its unfair. I feel people should be given 3 months to find a job, if its apparent they haven't even tried then their benefits should be cut slightly so it makes them think about getting a job. I do agree with you there ali, people who live off benefit just becuase they are lazy should be forced to get a job imo, but the WHOLE working class should not suffer for that minority. You have to remember the middle classes and upper classes are minority groups compared to the working classes, just because one working class guy is lazy you can't say they all are. Many of them work amazingly hard.
Ali go get a job somewhere in a warehouse on £4.75/hour and see if you can work to move out of your house. You cannot.
The British NHS is one of the best healthcare systems in the world, you'd be amazed. America, which is the richest country in the world, has very poor health care. The NHS just needs more cleaners, needs to be expanded (bigger hospitals) and more doctors. This is where the conservative GCSE system fails us. It stops hundreds of potential students becoming doctors because they were unable to cope with the pressure of 15+ exams and get stuck down the pits for the rest of their lives because of the patheticly poor system.
