> Conservatives don't give a shit about social welfare, this is just another scheme to enrich their pals and undermine the social safety net.
Huh?! That makes no sense: how is giving everyone a sufficient income to survive undermining the social safety net? How is increasing taxes on the wealthy enriching their pals?
It will allow property owners to pull in higher rents and ultimately reduce the availability of things needed to support children -- good food, healthcare, etc.
