plans to help the struggling British economy as well as helping the environment.
The chancellor yesterday claimed to be helping families in difficult positions as well as pensioners and large families.
Darling’s main idea was to raise taxes such as high polluting cars, alcohol and
Darling and his “Red Box”Cigarettes. He also said that new tests where going to be carried out on incapacity benefit claims.
Although many people have accepted his new budget, there are still some contradicting arguments. Darling also said that with his new budget he can help the UK’s economy through this turbulent time.
One of the main arguments against the budget is the fact that Alistair could be targeting families. Family cars enable larger families to transport all their family within one car; however Darlings bid raises the taxes on 4x4’s as well as family cars. In other words he is penalising families for having too many children.
Other people that will be affected by the budget include smokers, drinkers and other 4x4 or gas guzzling drivers.
