Osborne deserves to be put up against a wall and read the riot act, by the millions of people that he has made misery of
Why doesn't he just bring out Mansion Tax - for people that live in large houses and have rooms that wont be used.
Its always the normal Joe blogs in the street that he hits. If l lose my job tomorrow which can happen - l have been edge for the past few years with cuts looming. I have an extra room - I will have to pay Bedroom Tax
If he brought out in the budget that he will increase taxes for the rich. That would ease the pain - but l bet he wont
Osborne and Cameron are multi millionaires, so money is not object.

Because the Mansion tax would be for people that own their own home whereas the Bedroom Tax is for people that have homes owned by the council? Beggars can't be choosers ...
I think it's a brilliant idea by George. The Conservatives whilst not perfect have taken quite a few bold, correct decisions. This country is too reliant on free benefit handouts. Why should I work hard to own/privately rent my home whereas people that are earning the same as me get subsidised rent through the council (and free repairs etc)?
Yes some of you may be paying the market rent, but clearly there are people that are paying below market rentals. This should target those below market rental payers only.
