Loss of child benefit

 

Removing child benefit from higher rate taxpayers to save £1bn a year, the new plan of chancellor George Osborne, doesn't hit the popular fancy. Child benefit cut would cause several negative consequences such as our commitment to marriage and the suffering of middle-class single mothers. There would be a decline in the income of married couples and single parents with children, what would make their life harder. To choose between welfare of households or save £1bn, it is hard, isn't it? (The Guardian)
