BBC News - Budget hits the poorest hardest, says IFS
Well just maybe some of the feckless layabouts in the "poorest" households might then be persuaded to get off their lazy fat arses and find a job to supplement the handouts they currently receive from the rest of us then!!!
"Once all of the benefit cuts are considered, the tax and benefit changes announced in the emergency Budget are clearly regressive as, on average, they hit the poorest households more than those in the upper middle of the income distribution in cash, let alone percentage, terms."
