Greedy MPs'!

I cannot believe what I have just been reading. An article I found in the Daily Mail tells of how MPs are spending ridiculous amounts of tax payers’ money on second homes and holiday homes for themselves and their family. How selfish and greedy can people be? No wonder the country is in such a state if we have people like that running it for us. We are not just talking about a little perk of the job, it is claimed that more than £60,000 of tax payers’ money has been spent on either funding these second homes, or modifying them for the benefit of the MPs’. How can they justify spending that amount of money on homes that, let’s face it, they do not really need, or do not even live in. You can only live in one house at a time. It is obvious that these MPs could not care less that some families are struggling to pay only the one mortgage they have, some families have become homeless as they have been unable to pay just the one. It is no wonder the government has revealed plans to increase student tuition fees, as the extra cash will come in handy for another new home or maybe another car. I have nothing against MPs having second homes and even holiday homes, everyone would have one if they could afford it. I do object however, to MPs’ using hard earned tax payers’ money for their gain, when there are many more important issues the money should be being spent on.
