I'd agree pensioners have been cosseted. Because old people vote more than any other age group, Labour was generous and the Tories exempt them from all the benefit cuts ( eg Osborne yesterday). Giving wealthy pensioners TV licenses, bus passes and cold weather money is wasteful. So means testing ( which would cost in itself) is way forward. But going back to my original point, why let owners of £40m flats pay the same a modest homes in Council Tax ? |
