The post you are reporting:
Businesses do have to be allowed to grow so they can employ more people; less red-tape and business taxes will help - even reducing NNDR would go a long way.
If the economy doesn't grow there's no hope for anyone and the private-sector is the best way for employment to grow.
Profit is NOT a dirty word, it is always a necessary reward and should be.
I do believe the cuts are being made in the wrong places; I think that child allowance should be restricted to the first 2/3 children; youngsters living at home should not have housing benefits or WTC either, but I've put all this in an earlier post.
One of my brother's problems is that he gets a small (minimum) wage and then commission on selling house and/or car insurance - or should be.
For the last six months, he has been entering a code number on the computer to show that he has made the sale and so gets the commission - he hasn't been getting any, so queried why not; they have now told him that he isn't getting it because for that period, he had been entering the wrong code number - he didn't know that of course, but the company did and kept quiet about it because they would have had to pay him commission.
How wrong can that be ? It is legal to with-hold money knowing that an employee is due that commission ? He has made the money for the company in sales and they have known that, but not advised him on the code number, until he queried it.
At the end of the day though, what he takes home is simply not enough to live on and no one cares - the WTC people don't care, nor do Shepway Council and nor of course
does theGovernment.
"No one will be worse off working, than being on benefits" somehow rings quite hollow - it has no meaning and certainly isn't true.
