Sir,

It seems that by following the Governments example of being prudent, people including myself are being penalised.

I, who have worked very hard to put some money aside and save, did not go on holidays, or buy goods on credit cards and did not build up large debts. I have put money aside for a rainy day so that in the event of losing my job I can still pay my mortgage and bills

I invested some money in a few shares and government savings.

I now find that my shares are worthless, (I invested in Banks) and due to the current financial crisis my return on my savings is greatly reduced. (Interest rates have dropped). I would not be able to claim benefits because I have assets (My house).

To make matters worse people who have got into debt are now being bailed out, by the taxpayer. Me

And I will be paying for other people’s irresponsibility via my tax for years to come.

From now on I’ll be voting Loony, not sensible.
