"But the main complaint was that the cuts will hit families with only one breadwinner harder than households where both parents work"
Seems things are not as simple as some on this thread would like too believe.There's a big difference between 2 incomes of 40+k than a single one.
As I mentioned before this is a tax on those hard working families who just about fall into the higher rate bracket.
Perhaps the rate to remove it should be much higher than the start of the higher rate bracket? Or better still remove benefits from economic migrants.

I think you are all wrong but I still remain a socialist and these types of payments ( as long as they are fair are the best way to distribute income and in that way all society benefits as the money keeps on the merry go round.
I don't why people are not screaming about companies like Vodafone ( and there are estimated to be over 1000 similar) who had 6 billion pounds tax written off last year... all these tax avoidance schemes if a abolished would wipe out any deficit.
The general public remain ignorant to these schemes and don't seem to give a toss-they just get led by the nose by the right wing media ...which blames those at the bottom of the heap for everything.
It's worked all through history so nothing new there.
No point blaming Nu Labour (= Lib Dem/Con Coalition) as most parties are similar.
