Petition A Fairer Tax Credit System

More details

I call upon the Government to stop paying Tax Credits to workless households. Tax Credits should only be paid to people who are in paid employment as a supplement for being on a low wage. Workless househoulds managed to support their children fine before theTax credit system. So let's only pay it to those who work and actually do pay income tax!
