Closed restore tax credits to 2011/2012 limits

Closed on

The current levels for tax/working tax credits have been drastically reduced.
This has resulted in a working couple with 2 children being £90.00 a week worse off and a woking couple with 1 child being £60.00 a week worse off.
This Government state "we are all in this together". What other section of our society paying Income tax has been penalised so severly? Would our MP's accept such a pay cut?
The amount of overseas aid has been increased and will continue to increase, to the detriment of the working classes of this country. This must not be allowed to continue.
