    MIDDLE CLASS COULD BE FORCED TO PAY FOR THINGS THEY CAN AFFORD

    MIDDLE class families face no longer being able to use child benefit to buy wine, it emerged last night.


    Ministers have spent two months searching desperately for ways to cut the UK's soaring welfare bill before finally realising they should just stop giving money to people who obviously don't need it.

    What has class got to do with it? It isn't about class its about salary levels. Just because someone is middle class does not mean they are earning high amounts of money, neither does earning high amounts of money mean people are middle class.

    Fair enough point.

    But bear in mind that the article Rolly linked to came from a spoof news site. :p

    I think you can safely equate class with earnings, certainly for that article.
