SIR – Surely those who are against the so-called bedroom tax think that us taxpayers have money to burn.

Yes, we should take care of those less fortunate or who, for other reasons, now need help.

But I would maintain that we should offer help based on need, not on desire.

I would love a bigger house but can only afford the one I have.

Be thankful that we are supporting your needs but not paying out for things that are only a desire.
