It is morally wrong to raid our most vulnerable to plug a government spending gap while the super-rich continue to get richer. Something is seriously wrong in our society when the disposable income — the amount that is left to spend at the end of the week — of working people, be they nurses, health workers, teachers or tradesmen, has dramatically shrunk while the super-rich continue to be enabled to make even larger amounts of money on the back of the vast majority of society.
