Earn £44,000 and lose your child benefits - right or wrong?

This is to be introduced by the Tory Government soon! So do those earning £44k really need child benefit? This applies to one wage earner in the family apparently. That said, both partners can earn just short of that figure each and still get child allowance. Hmm, seems something is wrong here, what do you think members?

Me? I'd just like to earn £44,000...

Having lived 40 years in a non-welfare state I do not understand what the fuss is about.  If you choose to have children then you choose to support them from your income, whatever that may be.  Why should the rest of society pay for your children? 

I understand that you also have free education - we have to pay for our childrens' schooling here, (and they still all wear school uniforms too, plus having to buy all their book and stationery requirements).

We must also provide our own medical aid insurance.

And pay into private pension funds.  All out of much lower salaries!!!

Some people do not realise how well off they actually are!!!

most of these benefits should be scrapped,half the people on them dont want to work and have no intention of working.

what annoys me is i have worked hard all my life gone out at 5-30 in a morning while these lazy"sods" have been in bed all day and will get as much oap as i do.
