Mortgage - 1100 <-- Really?

Well if you want a simple 3 bed semi then that is 280000 (where I am) which equates to about 1100 per month.

You could pay less - but then you end up in a less salubrious environment with worse schools and higher crime

and if you earn 60k a year that is not what you want for your kids?

Maybe I am wrong though.

Or you could just move out of the SE

4 bedroom, huge detached house and I paid less than £280,000

Indeed there are plenty of inexpensive houses. Everyone moans because they can't afford a penthouse in the City Centre.

You have a mortgage? I had you down as a who'd paid his mortgage off yonks ago.

I cannot believe you assumed my age and gender..

Off to the re-education camps for you.

But actually I am Gen X and have about half my 25 year mortgage to clear.

People earning 100k would benefit more than people earning 60k.

Ok so without the 'rich' people going out for coffee,beer food etc etc

What jobs do the 'poor' do?

Read an interesting article the other day about the problem of the mega rich having so much money they cannot spend it so it sits around not being used.

Where as you give the man on the street an extra few quid and that goes straight back into the economy.

So if you gave people earning 30k got a tax cut, there would be more money circulating. All things being equal etc.

Well yes but as I proved the person trying to raise a family on 60 may well be in a worse position.

The worst case scenario is that people invest in their pension and the best case is they give the extra to charity.

Maybe drop the lower and raise the higher thresholds at the same time?
