Never knew that it would only affect people who earnt 45k or over

Did you ever think of checking? All you had to do was google "Tory Tax Credit Policy" and you would get 81k plus results, and even the first one, from the Daily Hate, states

Labour claimed this week that the Tories would scrap tax credits for people on incomes as low as £16,000 a year.
But the IFS confirmed that the Tories will only abolish them for families on more than £50,000 a year, although those on more than £40,000 will lose some money.
The Tories accused Mr Brown of scaremongering. Shadow Treasury chief secretary Philip Hammond said: ‘It doesn't matter how many times Labour ministers repeat false claims about Conservatives plans for child tax credits; they will remain untrue.
'We support child tax credits but cannot justify paying them to households with incomes over £50,000 a year.’

If you were deceived by G Brown, you have to admit you were partially to blame by believing anything any politician said without checking....
