As we know their are a lot of low earners and part-time workers in this country.
I like the idea too of the £10,000 basic tax allowance. The problems I find are that Tax Credits (bureaucratic) do actually target better those that need help and the cost to the taxpayer is less. Clegg said they would have to find the extra money.
