Lower Parliamentary Salaries to Combat National Debt
We hear daily of the damage that benefit claimants do to our economy. We would not have so many benefit claimants had so many companies not outsourced jobs to counteract large tax demands. With MP's currently getting such large expense accounts on top of already HIGH salaries. Is it not time that their benefits were capped.
Why is this important?
This is important to all of us as at current a large lump sum of taxpayers money goes towards paying the salaries of individuals who claim to be working for the care and benefit of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain. Courtesy of Google, I can tell you that there are 650 Ministers of Parliament.
The basic annual salary for an MP from 1 April 2014 is £67,060. MPs also receive expenses to cover the costs of running an office, employing staff, having somewhere to live in London and in their constituency, and travelling between Parliament and their constituency.
Making their current annual salaries combine to a total worth of £43,589000. 43 Million, 589 thousand pounds. I'm sure you'll agree that £67,060 is an amazing price to retail one persons opinion at.
Well, if they care so much isn't it about time that they show this; without their benefits courtesy of us!
How it will be delivered
I plan to deliver the petition via every social media channel possible. With the help of every single person who believes this to be a worthy cause!
