Both Nationalist and Labour Parties never proposed anything for Single persons. In every budget or Election proposals NOTHING is mentioned to benefit from like other people - Families, Children, Youths, Pensioners and fiscally challenged persons. I as a working class person I have always paid my taxes according to the law but in each and every budget or election proposal Single persons are always forgotten.... I think it is about time that something is done or offered to us.
Yes like a subsidy on the utilities for example. I put this idea forward because all we do is pay. We are the most heavily taxed section of the population.
I am a single person and share the same thoughts. I have never been given any special benefits. no special allowances, no free subscriptions to any care centres, no special leave etc etc. I just pay, pay, pay ....and i can't share my expenses with anyone as i live alone!
1. Many people wish to move out of their parents' house but are overwhelmed by the inflated property market. 2. A single person on an average income has next to zero possibility of managing a home loan / rent and also financing a small business... a lot of initiatives never take-off because it is very hard to find financing while also paying off a home loan. 3. The increase in single-income households in itself creates the need for further discussion and adequate proposals.
