50k .... to me should never have had child benefit anyway. the only way to kickstart this country is to get low income families spending, they can only afford to do so if they have money.

Don't forget that not everyone on 50k plus are toffs in good jobs, they are also working class people working long hours to earn a decent living for their families, I don't think those people should lose their child benefit just because they are working hard! Don't forget those people are paying 40% tax as well...
