        A few computers might need fixing too.

                    UK families ‘have worst tax burden’ « Shropshire Star

                    Middle-class families in Britain where one parent stays at home to look after the children pay more than a third extra in tax than those in other Western countries, new research claims.

                    Couples earning £33,745 a year bear a tax burden that is 39% higher than those in the 33 other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a report found.


                    May I suggest a few solutions to those working themselves to death just to pay off Labour's financial incompetence?....
                    The reason for this is that the UK taxes individuals, whereas most countries still tax families as a unit: so a family where not all the adults work is effectively a lower-earning, lower-taxed tax unit for the other countries, but in the UK is seen as a higher-earning higher-taxed worker plus a non-taxed non-worker. The UK used to do it as a family uint too, until a Conservative government changed the rules.

                    It's not the first time that Labour have been blamed for the negative results of a Tory policy, and I don't suppose it'll be the last.

That's the way the UK used to do it too, until a Conservative government changed the rules.
