Rejected petition Reduce the cost in vat ( value added tax) on items.

Most people get a low income, and benefits are getting cut and the cost of items are rising fast. Lot of people have a big family, the money people get these days don't cover for everything, I think if the vat was reduced or taken away this would help a lot of family's.
