I know it isn't a tax. Hence the apostrophes in Bedroom 'tax'. My comment was partly in jest, indicating that the withdrawal of this benefit (i.e. reduction in income i.e. penalty to those affected) is as much about effecting a change in attitude in those on benefits as it is a cost saving. At least, that's what they would have you believe.
