raising the tax level

[sammmo]

I see on the news today that nick clegg wants to raise the tax level for when people start to pay tax to £10000. Why could there be any opposition to this from anyone? In fact why not raise this figure to £20000. this would give poorer people a lot more money that they need to spend on stuff they want , therefore boosting the econonomy.. If you gave the tax relief to the rich they already have everything they need already, so it gets put into there bank accounts and its never actually used.. Also by giving the poor the extra money they make work more appealing to the lazy element in society and encourages them to work for a living..surely its a no brainer.. so why the opposition?
