Message | Why should we be giving money to rich families, just because they have a lot of children? If they cannot afford to maintain their children, they will fall under the low income category - this will not change. If they have plenty of money, and as such are over the threshhold for low-income benefits, they should not get one. |

Message | we should be giving child benefits to everyone not in the highest tax bracket |
