Hi, thanks for visiting but can you sign this petition please as its getting more exposure
To: Chancellor George Osborne MP.
Improve annual tax statements to avoid political propaganda.
The ATS breakdown does not make clear that most of the welfare budget goes to pensioners as well as sick and disabled people. The Treasury originally planned to show that just 3% went towards unemployment benefits, while much larger amounts went to children and families, elderly people and those unable to work.
Change the petition format before it is printed to reflect the truth about the welfare budget.
Why is this important?
George Osborne has been criticised for sending millions of households annual tax statements that show the biggest chunk of their contribution going towards welfare, it has been described as “political propaganda masquerading as neutral information”.
