Conservative Conference 2010 - Benefits change

So here is the news, the Conservatives are changing the benefits, and people with earnings of over Stg 44,000 will have their child benefits stopped.
Stg 44,000 is classed as high earners, which actually isn't the case in all events!
If you take all tax increases now then these people earn considerably less than others.

So lets run through the figures a bit.
We will use a typical family with 2 children and 2 parents (is this typical?)
One family will have one earner at Stg 84,000 and another will have 2 earners of Stg 42,000

Single earner tax is Stg 23,530 per year
Single earner National Insurance is Stg 4600 per year = Stg 28,130

Two earners tax is Stg 14,210 per year and National Insurance is Stg 7,982 per year = Stg 22,192

This means that the single earner family earns Stg 5,938 a year less than the two earner family.

Child benefit loss for 1 earning family = Stg 20 per week for first sibling and then Stg 13.50 a week for the second = Stg 1,688.40

Child benefit loss for 2 earning family = 0

So the single earning family is Stg 7,626 approx worse off
So the accusation of a housewife being charged more is in fact correct.

What isn't being stipulated is the fact that foreigners can come to UK and claim all the benefits they want including child benefit.

Many instances where Estonians, Lithuanians, Polish and other EU poor countries are coming to UK and claiming Child benefit, when their families are in fact still back in their own country!!!
Wait till Turkey becomes a member, then we will see a huge hole in our benefits.
Where is the common sense in that?

So here we have proof for all of these useless EU countries, that have mafia type arranged claims and fraud groups.
It seems that they either don't have any or not enough benefits in their own country, so they come to the UK and steal ours and our government agrees to it! Even in Holland and Germany and France they are now reviewing this policy and it will change.
Can you imagine if we as UK residents went to Estonia and try to claim benefits? we will be laughed at and so we should do the same.

If you think about the logic. Countries want to come to the EU because they can rape much more money from other countries like UK,Holland,Germany and France than they can provide jobs and salaries to get tax from their own workers. No it's easier to rape other countries and let the personal income go up and spend in their own countries. It's easy politics and economical sense.
