Due to the financial crisis, the annual income of Britain’s working families has declined and they can’t afford living conditions such as childcare and national insurance. Hence, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has counseled the British government to cut down £7bn of taxes to £3bn and to increase the hours of free childcare by 15 hours each week in order to improve these families’ lifestyles.

This is an important matter because a government should care about all of its citizens, not only about the elite classes which provide all of the money through taxes. These families have and are working hard to survive after the financial crisis and the government cannot just leave them alone, they need to do something about it. Even if it means reducing taxes by £4bn because it is the health of their population and looking it in a business aspect, less people working means less income for the government. In this sense, in Peru, there is a similar problem although it is worse because as many of the towns/villages and even communities are spread around the territory so it is difficult to assist them. Thus, they live on poor conditions and they only work for their own benefit, without paying taxes because why would they if they are not receiving anything in exchange.

Therefore I agree with CBI and suggest the British government to help its working class as it will benefit everyone in the short and long run.
